F1 returned from its summer break to wet and windy conditions at Zandvoort, with first practice led by Lando Norris in a wet-to-dry session. Despite the gales keeping the seaside Dutch circuit cool, Russell headed the FP2 times from the other McLaren of Oscar Piastri.
The second practice session was halted by a red flag for Nico Hulkenberg’s crash at Tarzan, the Haas driver losing control of his car under braking as the rear axle locked up.
