F1 Results Today: Lewis Hamilton misery deepens as red flag takes star out at Dutch Grand Prix

McLaren came back from F1's summer break as strong as ever, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri dominating FP1 on Friday afternoon at the Dutch Grand Prix.

The papaya cars were comfortably the class of the field as rain threatens to cut into meaningful running later in the day, but things weren't so rosy for the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton – 14th and 15th on the timing boards respectively.

The session was briefly red flagged when Kimi Antonelli got stranded in the gravel after overcooking a corner, barely kissing the wall but becoming stuck and needing to have his car retrieved.

That ended his session far earlier than he and his team had hoped, a real concern for Mercedes with rain potentially impacting FP2 later in the day.

Hamilton and Yuki Tsunoda also had some moments, the former spinning at Turn 3 a few minutes before the Red Bull driver took a trip off track himself.

The session ended in bizarre fashion, with Max Verstappen – sixth on time, nearly a second behind Norris – launching into a practice start and locking up into Turn 1, bouncing across the gravel trap and beaching his Red Bull.
