A “very unusual” mistake for Max Verstappen in FP1 at the Dutch Grand Prix
Max Verstappen had a rare off-track moment during the first F1 practice at the Dutch Grand Prix by beaching his Red Bull car at Turn 1. The incident occurred after the chequered flag, as he locked up and went straight into the gravel trap. Verstappen had to get out of his car as it was beached, causing him to report over team radio, “I am stuck.” There were other errors during the session, including Lewis Hamilton’s moment at Turn 2 and Kimi Antonelli causing the only red flag. Verstappen’s mistake was deemed uncharacteristic, with theories suggesting it could be related to tyre temperatures or trying new setups. Jacques Villeneuve suggested that the pressure of not having a consistently winning car may have led to the error.
