Norris pips Alonso to fastest time as crashes create chaotic practice
Lance Stroll and Alex Albon crashed out in second practice to continue an incident-filled opening day to the Dutch Grand Prix weekend which saw Lando Norris narrowly outpace Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso at the top of the timesheet.Four weeks after F1 was last on track in Hungary, the sport's return to the track produced one of the most chaotic Fridays of the session so far as gusty winds created tricky conditions at an undulating Zandvoort circuit which sits on the banks of the North Sea coast. Norris stayed at the top of the timesheet in the day's second session thanks to a best lap of 1:09.890 although this time McLaren were denied a one-two by the impressive Alonso, the Aston Martin driver finishing just 0.087s behind the Briton and 0.002s ahead of title leader Oscar Piastri.Outpaced by title rival Norris […]
