The Australian driver hit the wall trying to avoid a crash with compatriot Oscar Piastri, and now his impressive comeback to F1 driving is on hiatus.
Comeback driver Daniel Ricciardo is out of the Dutch Grand Prix after suffering a broken wrist in practice when both he and fellow Australian Oscar Piastri crashed on the same turn.
“If you’re coming into that corner, it’s blind, so maybe he saw me too late and turned to the wall instead of into me. So if he did, thank you,” the Melbourne rookie said. Piastri, who has replaced Ricciardo at the British team this season, had lost control on the famed banked turn three after just 10 minutes of the second practice, his car spinning into the barriers.Ricciardo had been powering around on the same line and, despite a warning yellow flag, then also swerved into the wall, hitting the brakes after seemingly only glimpsing the McLaren late.
The 22-year-old Piastri, who had been a test driver at Alpine last year, has impressed as Australia’s newest F1 star, having agreed to take Ricciardo’s seat at McLaren in controversial circumstances last season in a move which outraged the French team.
