Big crash for Logan Sargeant. He’s hit the barriers in a big way at turn five. “I’m okay,” he says. He’s out of the car, which has now caught fire and is being extinguished by marshals.

Hulkenberg has crashed again! This time he’s damaged the front of the Haas at Ernst (turn 11). He drives the car back in. “Again!” he exclaims on the radio. “The same as yesterday. I touched the brakes and locked up.”

Most drivers ran full wets at first but Hulkenberg said the track is ready for intermediates. Piastri puts them on and heads out, has a brief off at Ernst, then puts up a 1’24.176, the first time of the day.

That trio all pitted after one lap each; Zhou Guanyu, Oscar Piastri, Daniel Ricciardo and Sainz heading out now.

Hulkenberg has headed out now, however, in his repaired Haas, joined by team mate Kevin Magnussen and Valtteri Bottas in the Sauber.

The session has begun but the rain is still coming down and no one has left the pits yet – even Carlos Sainz Jnr, who did only seven laps in the dry second session yesterday due to a gearbox failure, and Nico Hulkenberg, who crashed in the same session.

Formula 1 teams have awoken to another wet day at Zandvoort. Conditions aren’t as windy as they were 24 hours ago for first practice, but intermediate tyres are likely to be the preferred choice for most runners in the final hour of practice – if we see much lapping at all.

Third practice for the 2024 Dutch Grand Prix is coming up next.
