WATCH: Verstappen goes off after the chequered flag in FP1 for the Dutch Grand Prix
The four-time World Champion suffered a bizarre incident after FP1 had finished at Zandvoort.
Max Verstappen's Free Practice 1 session ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix ended with his Red Bull in the gravel after the chequered flag.
The four-time and reigning World Champion finished the one-hour session sixth fastest, nearly one second behind pacesetter Lando Norris.
Verstappen completed a practice start in front of his home fans at the Zandvoort Circuit, but locked up into Turn 1 before skating into the gravel and becoming beached.
While no damage was caused, Verstappen was forced to walk back to the pits ahead of FP2 later this afternoon.
