The second practice session at the Dutch Grand Prix continued to bring the drama, although not the rain that forecasters had predicted.

Lance Stroll started the party early, smashing into the wall at the heavily banked Turn 3 to absolutely destroy the right-hand side of his Aston Martin and bring out a red flag which halted the session for around ten minutes.

Isack Hadjar brought out a virtual safety car after the restart, failing to complete a single lap before being told by his team to pull his car over and stop. When things got running at speed again, Lewis Hamilton executed a 360º pirouette before Alex Albon outbraked himself and dinked his front wing into the tire barrier before getting beached in the gravel to trigger a second red flag period.

That spin aside, Hamilton did look significantly more dialled in than in the early session, finishing with the sixth fastest lap time after only being able to go 15th in FP1.

It was his fellow veteran Fernando Alonso who turned heads though, going second fastest to split the McLaren pair of Piastri and Norris – three tenths of a second faster than any car not decked out in a lurid orange paint scheme.
