As the field shuffled for position, Bortoleto lost rear traction and snapped into a spin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gabriel Bortoleto avoided the barriers after spinning on Lap 1 at Zandvoort (Photo: Audi F1 Team)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Showing remarkable reflexes behind the wheel, Bortoleto avoided heavy contact with both the surrounding barriers and the cars trailing closely behind. After coming to a complete stop facing the wrong way, he safely turned the Audi around and rejoined the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the incident dropped him toward the rear of the running order, Bortoleto kept the car intact and resumed his race prior to the session being suspended for Max Verstappen&#8217;s lap 1 accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formula 1 action continues at Zandvoort during the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix. <strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/grandepremio.com\/en\/\">GRANDE PR\u00caMIO<\/a><\/strong> covers all track activities live from Zandvoort with reporter Leonid Kliuev.
