You can’t really say anything about the weather, it has been very changeable the last few days. With sudden heavy rain.
The actual radar looks quite clear over the North Sea. Wind direction is WSW. Reckon it’ll be a dry race

King Willem Alexander from the Netherlands will attend the Dutch GP with his family.
This was a few minutes ago on the grid. He was also yesterday at the qualification.

Why on earth did Mercedes not pit Lewis. Awful. Perez pitted and leads.

Don’t see how staying out is viable.

There is no way the teams not pitting their drivers within 2 laps was an acceptable strategy for anybody here.

He won't. Perez will be told to move over, if it comes to it.

Aye. Looks likely in WeatherPro.de radar. Not much though probably.

I hope Verstappen hasn't overdone his tyres in the dry out of frustration

And no need to ask for Perez to move over, when you undercut him entirely by pitting Max first.
