After an unusual 36-year absence, the longest for a country between race and race in the history of Formula 1, the Netherlands will once again have their Grand Prix in a historic setting such as Zandvoort, which has been a key piece of the calendar since its debut in 1952 until its last edition. Today, one of the 20 protagonists will take the baton from Niki Lauda and will try to leave behind the bad taste of the Spa-Francorchamps non-race, on a circuit that has captured the imagination of many, but that will present multiple challenges to the race. time to move on.
Local hero Max Verstappen met all the odds by taking pole position, and hardly anyone sees it as possible that someone could beat him. A priori, all eyes point to Mercedes, and more specifically to Lewis Hamilton, who will have the advantage of a new absence of Sergio Pérez in the front zone. However, if the superelevations do their thing, the range opens decisively for other potential candidates. There Carlos Sainz appears, with his sixth position on the grid after avoiding the disaster of his accident in FP3, or a Fernando Alonso who will try to get even with an imperfect Q3 from ninth place. Motor.es, as always, will tell all the action directly, from start to finish.
