Formula 1 returned with the Dutch GP after a three-week-long summer break, where Oscar Piastri claimed the victory ahead of Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar. This was Piastri's seventh win of the season in 15 races.

Verstappen, on the other hand, claimed the P2 after Lando Norris faced a reliability issue and finished with a DNF. Hadjar, the driver in P3, claimed his first podium of his career. Hulkenberg of Kick Sauber finished his race in P14 after starting from P17.

The Ferrari drivers, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, both faced the DNFs after the former tangled with Kimi Antonelli during the race, puncturing his tires. While Hamilton lost control of his car, hit the barrier, and went out of the race.

"We take it,” said Verstappen. “Qualifying on Saturday was good. I hoped for a little bit more in the race, but quite quickly I realised that the pace was not there. It always seems like in the race, we just seem to struggle more than over one lap, just with the tyre behaviour with the car, and that was very obvious again.

“I just tried to manage my pace, but that basically meant that it was more of a fight with the cars behind me than whatever was happening in front of me. There is always a lot of sand in that corner from the middle of the track to the edge, but with the softer compound, I pushed the entry. Then I went a bit sideways heading into Turn 3, but it was all okay," Verstappen added.

Currently, Max Verstappen is in P3 in the Drivers' Championship with 205 points. Oscar Piastri is leading the championship with 309 points, ahead of Lando Norris with 284 points. Red Bull are in P4 in the Constructors' Championship with 214 points.
