Max Verstappen had a dramatic moment at the end of the third free
practice session. In the last corner, the reigning world champion had a spin.
In Austria, Verstappen had a decent session. The
Dutchman experienced some minor moments with his RB21, but still kept an eye on
the McLarens. In the closing stages, Verstappen tried to push for a fast lap,
but spun on the pit straight.

Verstappen didn't hit the wall and continued on his way. Over the team radio, Verstappen jokingly said: ‘’That was a
360.’’

Verstappen was not the only one who had a moment in the last sector. Earlier in the session, Isack Hadjar also went beyond the limit, and
the Frenchman also had a spin. Oscar Piastri, on the other hand, had some moments at Turn 9, where he touched the gravel multiple times.
