F1 returned to the Netherlands after the summer break, a race where Oscar Piastri ended up as the winner. His Championship rival, Lando Norris, suffered from an oil leak and suffered a DNF.

The race also saw double DNFs from Ferrari as Lewis Hamilton crashed out of the race after losing control of his car on the slippery track. Charles Leclerc, on the other hand, made contact with Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes and punctured his tire.

George Russell of Mercedes came home in P4, ahead of Alex Albon of Williams. Oliver Bearman, Lance Stroll and Fernando Alonso finished the race in P6, P7 and P8, respectively. Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon wrapped up the top 10.

"It wasn't easy. I gave it everything at the start to move forward," Verstappen said.

"We just had to do our own race, unfortunately we didn't have the pace of the McLarens. We got a bit lucky with one returning. In general to be on the podium here is a great result."

Verstappen is in P3 in the Driver's Championship with 205 points after 15 races and three Sprints. His team, Red Bull Racing is in P4 in the Constructors' Championship with 214 points.
