He went down hard at Turn 2 at the end of the first free practice session — a fall that, while not extremely violent, clearly had physical consequences for the lightweight Japanese rider.

When Pre-Qualifying began, Ogura was suited up but remained the only one not to leave the garage. From the start, the situation suggested physical issues — which were later confirmed by doctors visiting his box. After a medical check, Ogura left the garage to seek further treatment.

His condition is still under evaluation, but the risk is clear: Ogura could miss the entire Silverstone weekend.
