It was not Max Verstappen, but world championship leader Lewis Hamilton who set the fastest time in the first free practice for the Dutch Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver was just less than one tenth faster than Max Verstappen. The Ferrari's are also doing well in FP1, as Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc find themselves on a respective P3 and P4.
There were a lot less kilometres driven than hoped for, as Sebastian Vettel 's car came to a standstill on the Zandvoort circuit for more than half an hour. The AMR21 was possibly under power during the stoppage and therefore we had a very long code red.
