F1 title rivals Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were inches away from disaster during FP2 at the Hungarian Grand Prix, as Max Verstappen was placed under investigation for a strange incident.

As FP2 came to a close Norris hurtled out of the pit lane and locked up, nearly collecting his team-mate Oscar Piastri in the process. Thankfully, the pair did not collide; but it was certainly a tense moment for the McLaren pit wall.

Meanwhile, Verstappen and Red Bull found themselves under investigation after the Dutchman threw a towel out of his car and disposing of it on track, in what could be deemed as releasing the car in an unsafe condition.

Both Verstappen and team-mate Yuki Tsunoda also complained about the feeling in the car during FP2, with the four-time world champion comparing it to 'driving on ice'.

Elsewhere, Fernando Alonso returned to his Aston Martin seat after he missed FP1 due to a muscle injury in his back, and finished P5 just behind his team-mate Lance Stroll.
