![[Autosport] This is the first time a driver has returned to Red Bull after being demoted. This is the second time Liam Lawson has replaced a Red Bull driver with a broken hand before the DutchGP.](https://preview.redd.it/sdhy56pd9dkh1.jpeg?auto=webp&s=b235d35915f7a704993822e81278a0f12b4208da)
i’m a huge f1 fan and i’ve started watching races at my lowest, some time has passed and i’ve visited f1 races for a several times now (proofs provided in media)
i’m from armenia and f1 is starting to get popular in here. i saw a girl’s vid recently which started with “there’s no hot drivers in f1???” and as we can all GUESS, there were charles, kimi, carlos and etc in it. I DIDN’T SEE A SINGE HATE COMMENT TBH AND IT FRUSTRATED ME LIKE WTF. now i can genuinely understand how it feels to see those girls that simp for popularised drivers for their looks..
P.S i’m a feminist and i’m truly into supporting girls and their rights, but can we NOT fetishise men for crying because of having their car BLOWN
The Dutch GP feels unusually difficult to call this year.
Zandvoort already rewards confidence and a good qualifying position, but adding the Sprint format means teams have much less time to correct a setup that starts the weekend in the wrong window.
That’s why I’m not convinced past Zandvoort form alone tells us who should be favourite.
A driver or team that arrives immediately comfortable with the car could have a much bigger advantage than usual, while someone who needs several practice runs to find the right balance may be playing catch-up all weekend.
My main things to watch are:
I put together a longer Dutch GP prediction and race analysis here:
My current feeling is that the winner may be decided as much by execution as outright pace.
Who is your pick for Zandvoort, and which team do you think benefits most from the Sprint format?
2021 - P1
2022 - P1
2023 - P1
2024 - P2
2025 - P2
Max could become the first driver in F1 history with 6 consecutive podiums in Zandvoort this weekend. What a send off that would be...
Michael Schumacher leads the list at an incredible $790 million, with Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso following behind.
