Dutch GP: George Russell leads Oscar Piastri and Lewis Hamilton in tight second practice at Zandvoort


George Russell was fastest from Oscar Piastri and Lewis Hamilton in second practice at the Dutch Grand Prix, with championship leader Max Verstappen on the back foot.

After a largely wet first practice, the second session was fully dry and Russell pipped Piastri by 0.061s as Mercedes and McLaren appeared to have the cars to beat.

Hamilton, who inherited victory from Russell last time out in Belgium, was only 0.111s behind his Mercedes team-mate and Norris was in fourth.

Verstappen has won each of the three Dutch Grands Prix since the event returned to the F1 calendar in 2021 but he has work to do overnight to make it four in a row on Sunday.

The Dutchman was only 0.025s behind his main title rival Norris, who he leads by 78 points, but 0.284s off pace-setter Russell.

Ferrari had a difficult session as Charles Leclerc ended up down in ninth and seven tenths off the pace, while his team-mate Carlos Sainz suffered a gearbox issue and sat out the second half of the session.

Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso came in sixth from RB’s Yuki Tsunoda and Haas’ Kevin Magnussen in eighth.

Magnussen’s team-mate Nico Hulkenberg crashed at Turn One and caused a short red flag.
