Too early for that imo.

Not cool.

Russell was too slow, and that's a risk with Lewis behind

Edit: VSC may save George

Virtual Safety Car again! Caused by Alex Albon's debris.

Oh well, VSC ending for 1 lap.

Lando Norris wins the Dutch Grand Prix! Russell defends his P3. Alonso got point!

Great race well done Norris he has been rapid recently. We had everything in that race, wet track, red flag, crash, vsc and some great overtakes. The tyre offset was huge, I can understand Leclerc not wanting to let Hamilton by, but that most likely cost the team a podium today. He seems to be too focused on beating his teammate rather than the bigger picture. Overall great weekend.
 
That was a long break. 😑

Congrats to Lando. I had doubts, but hoped. Oscar lost so much pace.

Mercedes team orders were... something.

Another sold performance from Lewis. Almost got that podium.

Hulk and Alonso grabbing points was pretty cool. Liam was fortunate to have stayed in the points.
 
Ferrari doing Ferrari things, a podium was definitely in the card today but they can't seem to get a handle on their drivers. Personally I think Lewis was in the right considering he was on a different strategy but anyway.

The race was more interesting than I thought it would be. Good on Norris for that win. He drove really well and fully deserved it. Kimi doing everything he can to secure than championship. I expected more of Russell today.
 
Good that Lando got the win again, can't afford Kimi to get too far ahead in the championship and know that Mercedes have a lot of upgrades coming soon.

So frustrating Charles staying out for an extra lap, not only costing him a lot of time relative to George but also for Lewis. On top of that, Lewis spent all race building a big tyre offset and having new tyres available to put on and Ferrari decide to put him at a tyre disadvantage to the cars around him by putting old soft tyres on costing a bigger podium chance. 🤦

Hopefully Ferrari power unit upgrade next race makes it more easier to race against the Mercedes powered cars.

Alonso finishing 9th at the age of 45 driving a lead wheelbarrow is the standout for me, of course, but I have to say it's a shame to be losing Zandvoort when these cars now finally look like they can dice with each other round the track. Damp weather played a part but I thought the battling was great.

In other words, just another day in the office for Ferrari. Strategy calls notwithstanding, it looks to me on the track that Charles and Lewis are teammates in name only, more wiling to fight each other to be the one that ultimately finishes ahead of the other. Not exactly beneficial to the team.

But at least they put up a bigger fight than George Russell does against Antonelli.
