Max Verstappen's home grand prix weekend started in disappointing fashion, struggling to stay even close to the McLarens before ending FP1 by getting beached in the gravel at Turn 1.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri were comfortably the fastest drivers on the track, with the former pulling out nearly a second on Verstappen, while the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton could only go 14th and 15th.

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.
