2025 Dutch Grand Prix - Zandvoort, Aug 29 - 31

Hadjar should be swapped with Yuki, he's been fast all season and today was the icing on the cake, by far rookie of the season.

It would be suicidal for Hadjar to go to Red Bull now. He should continue to put good performances and focus on a 2027 switch to Red Bull or another front running team. This Red Bull car is built for Max and nobody else can drive it.

2027? nah they ain't gonna wait that long, 2026 with a new set of regulations is the perfect time for the swap to happen.

Why would you want to see the same movie again? Are t there enough drivers that tried in that seat and failed? The regulation change won’t change anything. The Redbull car has a specific dna and that will carry over. As long as max is there the car will remain what it is.

No one gets close to max in that car mate.

hope this won't decide the title fight, would feel bad

It probably will. Unless Oscar dnfs later on it’s pretty much over. But to be fair he’s been the better driver out of the two all year long.

If Oscar keeps winning this dnf doesn't matter.

lando didnt do himself any favour by retiring in canada

[woohoo]

Does anyone know what happened at the back of the field at the end of the race?
The race TV directors have a habit of forgetting anything happening behind the leader on the last two laps of the race and I did not get to see why Gasly ended up last or why there was an investigation happening.

I don't know about any investigations, but Gasly and Bortoleto stayed out on their old hards during the Leclerc-SC. Gasly managed to hang on for a while (while Bortoleto dropped back immediately and abandoned the plan shortly after), but ultimately paid the price.

Colapinto and Sainz pitted again for softs when the Norris SC came out, so they had the best tires in the end, but not enough laps left to move up into the points.

So you can overtake off the track, push a car off the track, damage the other car and avoid a penalty?

Can someone please explain it to me I don’t get it?

He never was off track, his right tyres was on the white line.
Either way Antonelli fixed everything for MB.

Similarly it seems you can move under braking, not leave space for the car alongside you, and damage your own car whilst trying to force the other driver off the track, and avoid a penalty.

It was certainly hard fought but, on balance, I'd agree with both drivers in that the contact was a racing incident.

It would have been nice to join the action a little earlier to see how Leclerc managed to get the drop on Russell at the restart.

Whichever way they cut it, even after considering the 'extra width' the rear tyres have over the fronts, LeClerc was clearly off track limits in the inside of T12. Such was the amount of 'how much inside the whilte lines' he was. I don't know what 'lack of conclusive evidence' they are talking about - the TV replays showed it clearly. Not only did LeCLerc overtake off the track, he understeered into Russel and caused a collision. I don't understand why it isn't a penalty for LeClerc. Similarly senseless was the case with Sainz-Lawson collision. Penalty went to the wrong guy.
