George Russell outpaced Oscar Piastri in the dry second practice session for the Dutch Grand Prix, setting the fastest time despite a brief off-track excursion. The rain had cleared up by the time the session began, allowing teams to gather crucial data ahead of the rest of the weekend. Both Mercedes and McLaren showed strong pace, with Max Verstappen slipping to fifth on the timesheets. Carlos Sainz faced gearbox issues and was forced to retire early, potentially missing out on valuable running. The session was briefly halted due to Nico Hulkenberg’s crash, but resumed without any further incidents.
