The 2025 Formula 1 season returns this week after the summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort.
Lando Norris will be looking to continue his fine form into the second half of the campaign, after he won three of the final four races before the three-weekend pause.
The McClaren star claimed a stunning victory last time out in the Hungarian GP, as he held off teammate and title rival Oscar Piastri to clinch glory in Budapest.
This saw him reduce Piastri’s lead at the top of the Drivers’ Championship to nine points, in what is becoming a two-horse race.
Norris will be keen to extend his winning streak in the Netherlands, having won in superb style a year ago.
Last year, the Brit ended Max Verstappen‘s run of three straight wins at the Dutch Grand Prix, as he silenced the home crowd to subject Red Bull to a rare defeat.
Verstappen will be looking to gain revenge this year, while Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari are also in search of a big result.
The Italian team are still targeting a first grand prix victory of the season, with the Englishman continuing his quest for a first podium finish in red in Holland.

Hamilton has been grateful for his time off to help ‘rest and recharge’ ahead of the rest of the F1 campaign.
He posted on his social media channels: “I’m always so grateful for this time, for the opportunity to rest and recharge.
“There’s a lot I’ve been meditating on. Every one of us is up against so much, both individually and globally.
“It’s so important that we embrace the light of truth and love and take care of ourselves so that we can better take care of others.
“We can’t look away. We have to keep going, even when it’s difficult.”
