McLaren drivers reflect on ‘strange’ Friday at Dutch GP

Lando Norris dominated Friday's practice sessions at the Dutch Grand Prix, topping both Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2.\nThe McLaren driver initially led a team 1-2 with Oscar Piastri in FP1, before Fernando Alonso split the duo in FP2, with a mere 0.089s separating the top three.\nNorris, despite his strong performance, anticipates an "exciting" Saturday, acknowledging the close competition and the potential for rain to reshape the weekend.\nPiastri described the day as "strange" due to teams adopting mixed run plans to counter the threat of expected rain, which ultimately didn't materialize, obscuring the true competitive order.
