GP Netherlands | F1 Dutch GP: Sainz and Hamilton close at the start

Max Verstappen defended the first position very well at the start of the F1 Dutch GP against Charles Leclerc, who first tried it on the inside line to tackle turn 1, but seeing Max closing the gap, he suddenly changed direction towards outside.

On the other hand there was Carlos Sainz, who, finding himself facing his partner, had to raise his foot to get off the line. Lewis Hamilton tried to take advantage of this, who like Russell and Norris came out with a medium tire to have a better strategy in the race and perhaps chose to stop to look for the surprise.

Despite using the medium rubber, Lewis went all in and Sainz and the Englishman came together slightly. The Briton gently hit his left front tire on the side of the Spaniard’s car. Fortunately for both of them, that touch didn’t cause any problems and they were both able to continue.

For his part, Alonso remained in 13th position after being crippled in qualifying by Pérez, who troubled him in his last attempt in Q2 and prevented him from entering Q3. The Spaniard met a Tsunoda fighter, whom he did not pass in the first meters.
