Thank You, Zandvoort - F1 2026 Dutch Grand Prix Review

Parting is such sweet sorrow. Depending on who you are. For the final time as we know it, the Dutch Grand Prix took place at Zandvoort with over 350,000 in the house over the final three days of running, and with it, McLaren would go back-to-back in 2026 with Lando Norris taking victory. With Norris just 83 points off the Championship lead, is there time for a McLaren Championship comeback, ala Max in 2025?

How we got there though, was messy. An opening lap crash from Max Verstappen due to losing his front on the opening lap due to some early rain. There was the fact the race was colder than expected, and the drivers were struggling to get tyres switched on, as Kimi Antonelli couldn't hold on like Lando Norris could, with Lando using some quirky strategy from Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton, to make a decisive pass for the win. But with Russell told to make way for Antonelli for second, is Mercedes shutting down the title race?

We also talk about the injury stand-ins in Liam Lawson replacing Isack hadjar after the Frenchman broke his hand, and Yuki Tsunoda making a cameo for Racing Bulls. We talk Marcin Budkowski taking over for Graeme Lowdon at Cadillac and say goodbye to Zandvoort after six years of hosting the Dutch Grand Prix. Enjoy!
