Franco Colapinto's first qualifying session as an Alpine driver came to an end in the barriers after an accident at Imola's Tamburello Chicane in Q1.
A statement from Alpine released after the incident said: "Following the incident at the end of Q1, Franco was taken to the medical centre for precautionary checks as per the procedure. He is OK, has been checked and cleared to leave."
The Argentine driver was drafted in by Alpine ahead of this weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix to replace Jack Doohan, who completed just seven races with the team before being demoted to the role of reserve driver.
Colapinto, 21, came to the seat with just nine races' experience with Williams last year and, according to a team statement last week, has been given five races to prove himself.
Colapinto was attempting to improve on his first Q1 time when he ran wide in the final section of the Tamburello Chicane, lost control of the rear of the car and plowed through the gravel on the outside of the corner and into the barriers.
He had set the 14th-fastest time when the session was red-flagged as a result of the incident, meaning he advanced to the second part of qualifying despite being unable to take part in it.
Subsequently, Colapinto dropped a place on the grid to 16th, following an investigation for being released into the pit lane before the session had been officially restarted following an earlier red flag.
The earlier stoppage was caused by Red Bull driver Yuki Tsunoda suffering a huge impact at the Villeneuve Chicane after losing control on entry to the corner.
