  1. Get Involved

    As we've said, the Dutch Grand Prix drops off the calendar after this weekend.

    But what are your favourite memories of Zandvoort in the recent - or distant - past? With its short length, banked corners and seaside location, it's one of the fastest tracks on the calendar.

    But what sticks out to you when you think of the circuit?

  2. Mercedes lead the way

    Mercedes head into the second half of the season with a 76-point advantage over second-placed Ferrari in the constructors' championship after yesterday's sprint race. Reigning title holders McLaren are third, 50 points clear of Red Bull in fourth.

    Racing Bulls jumped above Alpine with double points in Hungary last time out to claim fifth place, and Audi in eighth added another point to their tally thanks to Nico Hulkenberg's ninth-placed finish.

    Teenager Kimi Antonelli, who turns 20 on Tuesday, is leading the drivers' championship by 53 points from seven-time title winner Lewis Hamilton, with Mercedes team-mate George Russell 56 points off in third place.

    Reigning world champion Lando Norris has moved to within 10 points of fourth-placed Charles Leclerc after his win in Hungary before the summer break but is now 11 points off after yesterday's sprint race, while Liam Lawson, stepping in for Isack Hadjar over at Red Bull in Zandvoort this weekend, is level on points with Alpine's Pierre Gasly.

  4. Netherlands: Race day

    A warm welcome to you, although it's not the warmest at Zandvoort this afternoon.

    The final Dutch Grand Prix weekend before the event drops off the Formula 1 calendar has been about managing the conditions.

    Yesterday, rain may not have directly impacted the sprint race and qualifying, but it did make some drivers and teams very wary having had a few near misses or trips into the gravel.

    As for today, Lando Norris starts on pole with McLaren entering the latter half of this season looking like they are in better form than how they started it.

    Not unlike George Russell, really, who won yesterday's sprint off the back of picking up sprint pole on Friday and appears to be refreshed following the summer break.

    Russell still has a fair old gap to bridge to Mercedes team-mate and championship leader Kimi Antonelli, but it's fair to say he's looked the better of the two drivers so far this weekend.

    Will that be the case come this evening?
