Max Verstappen suffered an early blow to his Dutch Grand Prix chances after suffering a gearbox problem in the first free practice session of the weekend.
The Red Bull star managed just one hot lap before coming to a stop in the middle of the circuit. Smoke could be seen pouring out of the back of his car, and it wasn't long before the driver confirmed the source.
Verstappen jumped quickly onto team radio to inform his engineers that there was "something wrong with the gearbox". A virtual safety car was introduced, before that was quickly upgraded and the session red flagged.
