The drivers and teams were initially the same as the season entry list with the exception of Daniel Ricciardo, who replaced Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri from the Hungarian Grand Prix onwards.[4][5] However, Ricciardo broke a metacarpal bone in his left hand in a crash in the second practice session, and was subsequently replaced by reserve driver Liam Lawson who made his Formula One race debut.[6][7] Robert Shwartzman drove for Ferrari in place of Carlos Sainz Jr. during the first practice session.[8]

Tyre choices

Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C1, C2 and C3 tyre compounds (designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively) for teams to use at the event.[9]

Practice

edit

Three free practice sessions were held for the event. The first practice session was held on 25 August 2023, at 12:30 local time (UTC+2); it was red-flagged once as Nico Hülkenberg crashed at the last corner. Max Verstappen topped the session, with Fernando Alonso the second-fastest and Lewis Hamilton third.[10]

The second free practice session was held on 25 August 2023, at 16:00 local time (UTC+2) and was topped by Lando Norris, with Verstappen the second-fastest and Alexander Albon third. The session was red-flagged when Oscar Piastri and Daniel Ricciardo crashed moments apart at turn 3. The accident resulted in a broken metacarpal bone in Ricciardo's left hand. He was deemed unfit to participate in further sessions throughout the weekend; Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri's reserve driver Liam Lawson replaced Ricciardo for the remainder of the weekend.[11] The third free practice session was held on 26 August 2023, at 11:30 local time (UTC+2) in wet conditions. Verstappen topped it with George Russell being second and Sergio Pérez third. The session was red-flagged three times for Kevin Magnussen's crash and spins of Zhou Guanyu and Liam Lawson.[12]
