WATCH: Verstappen finishes FP1 in the gravel for Dutch GP

Max Verstappen's Free Practice 1 session at Zandvoort concluded with an unusual incident, as the four-time World Champion beached his Red Bull in the gravel after the chequered flag. Following a practice start in front of his home crowd, Verstappen locked up into Turn 1, sending him off track. Despite finishing sixth fastest, nearly a second behind Lando Norris, no damage was sustained to his car. However, the reigning champion was forced to walk back to the pits, providing an unexpected end to his initial session ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix.
