- Daniel Ricciardo loses control of his car, resulting in a severe collision with the barrier
- Despite the impact, Ricciardo fails to release his grip from the steering wheel
- Taken to the hospital for evaluation with his left arm in a sling
Daniel Ricciardo’s participation in the Dutch Grand Prix is uncertain following a hospitalization for an injured left hand.
The Australian driver crashed his AlphaTauri during second practice, with the notable detail that he did not release his grip from the steering wheel upon impact with the wall.
After the crash at Turn Three, Ricciardo exclaimed, ‘Ah, f***, my hand.’
He was subsequently taken to the hospital for evaluation, with his left arm in a sling.
Red Bull motorsport adviser Dr. Helmut Marko stated, ‘We don’t have the exact diagnosis yet, but he was in considerable pain. His wrist has sustained damage, but we need to await further evaluation.’
