All eyes will be on the Circuit Zandvoort as the iconic track hosts the the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday, August 31.
McLaren have been the team to beat this season, with Lando Norris winning in Hungary -- his third victory in the last four races, while teammate Oscar Piastri has also impressed. Between them, the papaya outfit have clinched 11 of the 14 races so far in 2025: Norris with five and Piastri with six.
Norris arrives at Zandvoort as the defending champion, hoping to retain his title.
Meanwhile, local hero Max Verstappen faces pressure at home. Red Bull have not been as threatening as in the recent past, with Verstappen missing the podium in his last four races and managing just two wins this season.
However, the four-time champion cannot be underestimated, especially with rain expected over the weekend and he thrives on wet tracks. Zandvoort is a fan favourite circuit, but its volatile weather could make things unpredictable with wet conditions, in which Verstappen has historically thrived.
