Perez and Bottas reflect on Cadillac's Dutch Grand Prix

Cadillac drivers Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas believe there are lessons to be taken from last weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix, with the former stating “the pace was very strong” despite failing to score any points. The American team continue to face an uphill battle during their maiden season in Formula 1, with last weekend’s race at Zandvoort the latest challenge to overcome. The team have yet to register a point this season and fell further behind nearest rivals Aston Martin in the teams' standings after Fernando Alonso claimed two points with P9....

Piastri not able to drive ‘through pure instinct’ – Stella

The Dutch Grand Prix weekend marked one year since Oscar Piastri last won a race for McLaren, his championship fight tailing away towards the end of 2025 before this season has thrown up a new set of challenges for the Australian. He finished sixth in Zandvoort, a race won by team mate Lando Norris who now has two Grand Prix victories and one Sprint win this season, while Piastri has totalled just the two podiums....

10 times F1 drivers suffered heartbreak at their home race

10 times F1 drivers suffered heartbreak at their home race

Max Verstappen suffered a spectacular exit from the Dutch Grand Prix last weekend after crashing out at high-speed on the final corner. The Dutchman walked away unharmed after his off, but it was a disappointing final home race for the four-time World Champion - who has won at the venue on three previous occasions - and the Orange Army at Zandvoort. Verstappen is certainly not the first driver to suffer home heartache though, and F1....

PALMER: Is Norris in the title race after his Zandvoort win?

PALMER: Is Norris in the title race after his Zandvoort win?

Lando Norris has taken his driving to a new level this season and Zandvoort was a showcase of it all coming together. His Qualifying effort was superb. Lando has always enjoyed Zandvoort, it’s been a circuit he’s always had a natural affinity with and he won the race comfortably from pole in 2024. It was no surprise he had pace to challenge for pole position on Saturday, but what I was more impressed with was his mindset in achieving it....

Norris ‘driving at the level of a World Champion’ – Stella

Andrea Stella has praised race-winner Lando Norris in the wake of the Dutch Grand Prix, which the McLaren man won from pole. But that does not tell the full story of the race, with Norris having to catch and pass Kimi Antonelli on track to ensure he took victory. Stella watched as his driver bided his time after falling behind Antonelli at the second standing start, with Norris able to extract more pace on the hard compound tyre than his rival....

Gasly hails Alpine progress as Colapinto rues ‘harsh’ penalty

There were mixed emotions for the Alpine team after the Dutch Grand Prix, with Pierre Gasly taking heart from a “positive step” made by the squad’s upgrade package while Franco Colapinto was left to rue what he deemed as a “harsh” penalty. After lining up in P11, Gasly made a good start and was running within the top 10 when Max Verstappen crashed ahead of him on his opening lap, the Frenchman just managing to avoid getting caught up in the accident....

How Alonso used a unique strategy to earn P9 in Zandvoort

How Alonso used a unique strategy to earn P9 in Zandvoort

The Dutch Grand Prix saw some fantastic action at the front, but there were also impressive performances further back, including a spectacular drive from Fernando Alonso to P9 and two precious points for Aston Martin. The Spaniard was beaten only by the Audi of Nico Hulkenberg in the midfield battle. However, while progress has been made of late it would be premature to suggest that Aston Martin’s AMR26 was the sixth fastest car on the Zandvoort grid....

How are Ferrari keeping costs low for their latest upgrades?

How are Ferrari keeping costs low for their latest upgrades?

Ferrari introduced what it reports as a very cost-effective update to the SF26 at Zandvoort based around changes to the floor. Into the second half of the season the top teams are very aware of the cost implications of any updates as they forecast how to stay within the budget cap by the end of the season. Only two sets of the new parts package were initially made (one each for Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc) and they were not used in FP1 so as to minimise the risk of damage without the spares back-up before being fitted to the cars for Sprint Qualifying....

‘A really horrible weekend’ as Haas suffer double Dutch DNF

Haas had an afternoon to forget at Zandvoort, with both Ollie Bearman and Esteban Ocon parking up trackside to retire with technical issues. Having qualified down the order, neither DNF cost the team a chance of points - but instead highlighted how many issues the team currently have to work on. Bearman was the first to park up, at the end of the formation lap following the red flag restart called after Max Verstappen’s crash out of Turn 14....

Tsunoda puts himself back on the F1 radar after Dutch GP

Tsunoda puts himself back on the F1 radar after Dutch GP

In finishing P11 at Zandvoort he might not have made the points, but nevertheless Yuki Tsunoda was able to use his one-off appearance with Racing Bulls to put himself back on the radar of the Formula 1 pit lane. After his somewhat disastrous season with Red Bull in 2025 it was hard to imagine him ever finding a way back to a race seat. A solid Dutch Grand Prix weekend in an unfamiliar car served as a calling card though, reminding everyone that Tsunoda is one of the most experienced and best-qualified drivers currently sitting on the sidelines....

7 moments you might have missed at the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix

Set against a backdrop of red, white, and blue flags amid the memorable orange of the fans in the grandstands, while Zandvoort’s ‘Last Lap’ might not have given the home crowd its fairy tale ending, it certainly delivered a rollercoaster of a race. Reigning World Champion Lando Norris claimed back-to-back Grand Prix victories with a strategic masterclass and some sterling overtakes, sharing the podium with Championship leader Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, who won Saturday’s Sprint ahead of Charles Leclerc, with Norris in third....
