Oscar Piastri found himself in an interesting situation early on in the second free practice session in Zandvoort. Immediately after going out on track, the Australian driver had to return to the pit lane.
A strange event occured in FP2 at the Dutch Grand Prix. Oscar Piastri had visibility issues in the session, causing him to abort his first lap on a set of medium tyres.
