Max Verstappen will head into qualifying at the Dutch Grand Prix with a big boost after going comfortably fastest at his home circuit. Like the two Friday practice sessions, running was disrupted by a red flag following a heavy crash for Carlos Sainz in his Ferrari, with his team now facing a rush to repair his car in time for qualifying. Verstappen started the session by avoiding a grid penalty following a morning investigation by stewards for overtaking Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll under red flags during Friday practice. Both sessions on Friday were heavily disrupted by red flags and they were out again on Saturday when Sainz spun off into the barrier heavily damaging his Ferrari.
