Formula 1 racing is revving up again post-summer hiatus, resuming its high-octane action at Zandvoort. Yesterday was a mixed bag, to say the least. On one hand, Lando Norris was the speed demon who owned the track by leading the time charts. On the other hand, Daniel Ricciardo’s weekend took a tragic turn as a collision left him with a fractured hand, effectively benching him for the remainder of the Dutch Grand Prix.
With Ricciardo sidelined, it’s a Hollywood script come to life for Liam Lawson, who’s been tossed the keys to the AlphaTauri for his inaugural Formula 1 appearance, starting from this final practice session.
Meanwhile, local hero Max Verstappen sauntered into Zandvoort, his turf, armed with a cushy 125-point advantage in the championship standings over his Red Bull squadmate, Sergio Perez.
