GP Dutch: Battle Lando Norris-Socra Piastri Title Battle, Lewis Hamilton shape between talk points with the F1 season resumption | F1 news

With the resumption of the Formula 1 season for 2025 after the summer vacation, here are the main conversation points that must be searched in the Dutch Grand Prix this week.

The battle title is split

Each tours of the remaining ten season, all eyes will be on Oscar Biasteri and Lando Norris at a time when the McLaren duo fight the title of drivers before marriage.

Australia is leading Piaasstri Norris with nine points, but it was the British who got the edge before the break, winning three of the last four races.

The intensity increased gradually as the couple moved more than the rest of the network, with the appearance of Max Verstapen now 97 points of PiaSSTRI in third place.

There was a flash point in Canada in June when the bad ruling led to the collision of the husband, but any bad feeling of growth was prevented from the accident through the fact that the British suffered from damage at the end of race, instead of PiaSSTRI.

The closest we reached in repetition was the last time in Hungary when Pestre went to Norris while he was trying to get rid of a late pass for the lead, with a strict warning that brought down the radio moments after the accident.

It is fair to say that the gloves have been stopped for a while on the right track, but – thanks to some wonderful management by McLaren Anda Stella and Zak Brown heads – the couple kept well ties completely outside the cockpit.

It competes narrow until the end of the season, but it remains to see the fierce battle when you build tension in the coming weeks.

Still uncertainty in Verstapen?

Despite the exciting nature of the title of the title, most of the rapists in ZandvoRt will first reach one man’s vision – National Hero, Max Verstapen.

Last December announcement that this event will be dropped from the sport schedule after 2026, it is likely that the very enthusiastic orange army is likely to enjoy enjoying the time they are still able to on the North Sea coast.

For the first time since the Dutch Grand Prize race returned to the calendar in 2021, Versabpen reaches his home race outside the title race, and with uncertainty hanging on his long -term future.

Before the final race before the summer vacation in Hungary, the 27 -year -old placed an end to the speculation that binds him to move to Mercedes in 2026 by saying that he is staying with Red Paul next year.

However, his team may have the worst weekend of this season so far in Budapest, before showing Versaben’s photos on board the Mercedes Toto Wolf Lachut vehicle while online break.

Versabpen has already explained in Hungary that social meetings with Wolf do not affect his future, but it is difficult to believe that Austrian does not think of more than just friendship when he is about the best sports driver.

For this reason, it will be great to hear what each of them says when they are inevitably asked about the link, as Wolf’s answer is likely to be more news with Verstapen after he put his position.

Will Russell get a new contract?

Another thing that Wolf must be asked to be asked about, assuming that there is no advertisement that comes before the weekend, is to put the contract for its current drivers, George Russell and Kimi Antonlle.

It was a messenger who sent speculation about VersApet to Mercedes to Overdrive when he told the British Sky SPORTS F1 In June, the extension of its contract was expanded by the team’s pursuit of the Dutch.

Mercedes insisted throughout the epic that their position as a business owner and his management in Russell means that they have no concerns about the loss of the British, as Antonelle came in the same position through the beginners program for the team.

However, some suggested that the pendulum in the contract negotiations was picked for Russell by Verstapen, saying in Hungary that he was residing with Red Bull for 2026.

Regardless of the details, with Verstapen’s commitment to Red Bull for the next year, Mercedes can save itself and its drivers from having to answer the same questions frequently by completing the deals.

It will be surprising that the advertisement will come sooner, not later.

Can Cleloonment Reinover shape?

Regardless of Antonelli out of form, the driver most of which needed the summer vacation certainly Lewis Hamilton.

It seems that the season of the seven -time world champion has reached a crisis after the disappointing qualifying qualifying voltage has declared itself “useless” and suggests that the team be replaced.

There was no doubt that Hamilton would return after the break, and the exercise images were recently loaded at the expense of his social media with the “No Leaves Days” indicating that the 40 -year -old has been fully re -focused.

He is still looking for a first platform from Ferrari’s major platform, with the longest series of races without ending in the first three places now at the age of 16.

Although Hamilton did not help him with some basic issues with SF-25, he must regain some confidence before the end of the season to ensure that he believes that he can compete for the eighth drivers title in 2026 if Ferrari produces a competitor.

The consistency of his qualified problems over the past two years indicates that a three -week break will not reflect Hillton’s wealth in a magical way on one bosom, but there is a medium floor that can be found.

If Hamilton is able to cut the important mistakes that hindered his qualifications in Belgium and Hungary, he must put himself in a position that allows him to fight for some platform, and perhaps even victory.
