Lando Norris provided further evidence of McLaren's resurgence by outpacing Red Bull's Max Verstappen to top second practice at the Dutch Grand Prix.
The British driver delivered a 1:11.330 in Zandvoort to finish 0.023s clear of world championship leader Verstappen, who had topped Friday's opening session at his home race.While Verstappen, who holds a 125-point lead at the top of the drivers' standings and is chasing a record-equalling ninth successive race victory, appeared to deliver an imperfect lap, Norris' performance suggests McLaren could be in the hunt for pole on Saturday.
Ricciardo complained over team radio that he had injured his hand and then struggled to get out of the car. His participation for the remainder of the weekend appears to be in doubt after he was taken to hospital for checks while the session continued.His team-mate Yuki Tsunoda took fifth ahead of Alpine's Pierre Gasly, with both cars surprisingly outpacing Red Bull's Sergio Perez, along with several other usual front-runners.
