Motor racing-Verstappen crashes out of home Dutch GP on opening lap

​Max Verstappen ​crashed out ‌of his ​home Dutch Grand Prix at the ‌end of the first lap on Sunday, halting the race. "I'm OK," Red Bull's ‌four-time Formula One world champion ‌said over the team radio.

Verstappen's car went into the concrete wall on the ⁠outside ​of the ⁠banked corner before skidding back across the ⁠track, with one wheel breaking off ​and running loose, and scattering debris ⁠around. Verstappen, a three-time Dutch GP winner ⁠who ​had started in seventh place, got out of the car ⁠unassisted at the Zandvoort circuit that is ⁠dropping ⁠off the F1 calendar after this year's race.
