A big scare that could have cost him dearly. Williams driver Logan Sargeant was involved in a major crash during the third free practice session for the Dutch Grand Prix on Saturday.

The American lost control of his vehicle on the Zandvoort circuit and suffered a spectacular excursion off the track. The car caught fire moments after hitting the safety rails.

A spectacular accident that has caused concern among some drivers, asking for news of Logan Sargeant. A red flag has been raised.

An uncertain Grand Prix

On Friday, Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull) was beaten by Mercedes and McLaren on Friday in front of his home crowd during free practice for the F1 Dutch Grand Prix.

Even if Friday's results should be put into perspective, as every weekend, the reigning triple world champion and current leader of the standings will have a lot to do to extend his unbeaten run on the coastal circuit of Zandvoort.

With three pole positions and three victories since the return to the calendar in 2021 of the circuit famous for its “banking”, banked corners, Verstappen is the man to beat on the North Sea shore but the forces present seem to be the same as in July.
