Daniil Kvyat has insisted that he felt "more disappointment than pain" after suffering a spectacular crash during qualifiying at the Japanese Grand Prix.
The Russian driver walked away unscathed after crashing into barriers at high speed and rolling his car over.
However, Kvyat has suggested that the effect of his crash on his grid position was more important.
He told reporters: "I've never rolled a racing car before and they say there's a first time for everything. I'm feeling more disappointment than pain. I put two wheels on the grass and there was not much run off area at that point so it put me straight into the wall.
"I was pushing hard after a messy FP3 and this is the consequence of going over the limit. The car looks really bad and I'm sorry for the guys who have already had a tough couple of weeks and now they have even more work to do.
"Where would I have finished? I don't know, but it should have been looking better than P10, because the car felt good in the fast sections, even though we lack the speed in a straight line. Tomorrow, we will try our best as usual."
Red Bull have failed to win a race so far this season, after taking three victories in 2015.
