Lewis Hamilton suffers second costly error as messy Dutch GP start continues

Lewis Hamilton has completed his second 360-degree spin of the Dutch Grand Prix weekend, with a pirouette on the exit of Turn 9 in FP2.

The seven-time F1 drivers' champion made a similar mistake during FP1 at Zandvoort on the exit of Turn 2, but has managed to avoid crashing his Ferrari on both occasions.

In trying to find the limit of his SF-25's capabilities, the 40-year-old has endured a messy start to proceedings, but was able to go fourth-fastest soon after his second incident, quicker than team-mate Charles Leclerc, who encountered traffic on his run.

His spin came between red flag crashes for Lance Stroll and Alex Albon, in what was a heavily disrupted second free practice session.

Hamilton will want a strong start to the second part of the season, after having an underwhelming start to life at the Italian team.

At the last round before the summer break, the Hungarian Grand Prix, he cut a dejected figure, suggesting Ferrari needed to change drivers and branding himself "absolutely useless" after qualifying in P12.
