Bortoleto credits Zandvoort banking for avoiding crash during Dutch GP

Gabriel Bortoleto managed to avoid crashing during the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort after a spin caused by Max Verstappen's crash on Lap 1. The Brazilian described the banking in the final corner as instrumental in his ability to maintain control, managing a 360-degree spin without colliding with the wall. Meanwhile, teammate Nico Hulkenberg narrowly evaded Bortoleto, citing luck and instinct as key factors. Both drivers expressed relief at their escape from a potentially disastrous situation, with Audi team principal Allan McNish comparing it to a scene from the movie 'Days of Thunder'. Bortoleto ultimately finished 13th, while Hulkenberg secured 8th, contributing valuable points for Audi.
