Kimi Antonelli's car is taken away so the session resumes.

The sun is shining at the moment so plenty of fans are just enjoying it and having a chat with their mates.

It could be a different matter for second practice, however, with some rain forecast for the session.

The good thing for Kimi Antonelli is that he managed to avoid hitting the barrier but that is likely to be the end of his session. He just locked up approaching the corner and went off.

Oh what's occurring?

Yuki Tsunoda spins and Kimi Antonelli is off the track and stuck in the gravel.

"I'm stuck in the gravel," he says.

He sure is.

Oh that'll be what it is! Lewis Hamilton spins at Turn 3 but does really well to rescue it and carry on like nothing happened.

The yellow flags are ever so briefly waved for something, but whatever it was, it was resolved in seconds.

A change at the top once more with Fernando Alonso doing a 1:12.577 to go top of the pile.

Lando is riding a high at the moment. He's been the top points scorer in the past few races and he is putting up a really big fight to Oscar. There was a point to the season when it looked like Oscar was going to run away with it. This final part of the season is going to be anyone's game.

Here come the McLarens as Oscar Piastri goes fastest now with 1:12.678 while Lando Norris goes third quickest, 0.273s off his team-mate.

There is no rain in sight just yet but we are expecting it to be a mixed weekend.

One of the biggest challenges of this track is that it's on the beach front surrounded by sand dunes. That means a lot of sand gets thrown on to the track and it's really low grip when that gets thrown on to the circuit.

Almost everyone is out there on medium tyres apart from Yuki Tsunoda, who has opted for the hard compound.

Max Verstappen has the fastest time at the moment with 1:12.767, half a second quicker than Lewis Hamilton in P2.

The general admission part of the track is a grassy sun trap now, with the sun still beating down as people jostle for a decent spot.

At the final corner, Rob, Suzanna and Yourick are clad in custom orange shirts, the trio regulars at the Zandvoort circuit. Max Verstappen dominated his home track when it first returned to calendar in 2021, winning three in a row from pole. Could he spring a surprise this year after Lando Norris’ dominant win last season?

“We don’t think so,” the three say together, but there’ll still be a cross of the fingers the four-time world champion can cause an upset on home soil.

Zandvoort returned to the calendar in 2021 for the first time since 1985.

This year's race will be the 35th world championship Dutch Grand Prix but next year will be the final race held at at the Zandvoort track.

Niki Lauda won the 1985 race and since its return Max Verstappen has won his home race three times.

No slow start to the session with a line of cars queuing up to get out onto the circuit.

Last year's winner Lando Norris is among them.

The flags around the circuit are fluttering quite a lot with a fair bit of a breeze as first practice gets under way.

There are many flats and houses that surround the walk to the circuit and the residents are showing business acumen Lord Sugar would be proud of.

Unfortunately, the language barrier meant “coffee” was the only word we had in common. But for three euros, it was a steal in today’s economy.

The paddock was fairly quiet at about 10:40 local time, although I did spy Franco Colapinto having his breakfast up on the Alpine balcony.

The temperature has increased now and a jumper was a bad choice of clothing. Oscar Piastri, leading the title race by nine points, is also wrapped up for colder climates.

I confess I did get a picture Piastri and when I sent it my mum, she said we look like “a proud auntie and nephew”.

Lewis Hamilton left the last race of the first part of the Formula 1 season saying he was looking forward to a break - and acting like he needed one.

For the most successful driver in the history, it has not been an easy first 14 races with Ferrari.

The season started with Hamilton full of positivity about his new environment, and a sprint race pole and victory at the second race of the season in China hinted at great promise.

But reality bit back hard within 24 hours of that success. Both Ferraris were disqualified from the grand prix in Shanghai for technical infringements, having not been on the pace of the McLarens.

Since then, Hamilton and Ferrari have struggled for competitiveness, and Hamilton ended the first part of the season saying at the Hungarian Grand Prix that he was "just useless" and "drove terribly".

So what has not been working for Hamilton at Ferrari?

Andrew Benson has been analysing Hamilton's season so far and you can read his thoughts here.
