AlphaTauri racer Daniel Ricciardo injured his left hand in a crash during practice at the Dutch Grand Prix on Friday, and the Australian driver has been ruled out for Sunday’s race.
Ricciardo suffered a broken metacarpal bone and will be replaced behind the wheel this weekend by reserve driver Liam Lawson, AlphaTauri announced.
The accident occurred 10 minutes into Friday’s second practice session, when McLaren’s Oscar Piastri lost control and crashed into the wall on the first banked corner of the track in Zandvoort, Netherlands. Ricciardo was not traveling far behind Piastri, and he lost control of his car while trying to avoid Piastri.
