With the summer break done and dusted, the 2025 Formula 1 season continues to Zandvoort, Netherlands, for the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday, August 31.

At the Hungarian GP, McLaren continued their dominant run with Lando Norris winning his fifth race of the campaign, with teammate and drivers' standings leader Oscar Piastri finishing second.

Norris comes into this year's Dutch Grand Prix as the defending champion, having pipped Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc to the title last year.

McLaren also top the team standings with 559 points and have a comfortable 299-point lead over second-placed Ferrari.
