The new layout of the Zandvoort circuit has proven to be a handful for a lot of drivers. Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz became the latest driver who found turn 3 to be a tricky corner. The Spaniard could not control his car going into the first banked corner of the circuit and crashed into the barrier.

Sainz was running in P2 in the Free Practice 3 session. He was on a fast lap when he lost the rear of his car and collided with the wall. This is the first accident at the corner in the whole weekend.
