    Dutch GP Review: Lando Takes the Fight to Kimi

    F1 is back from the summer break, and while the Dutch GP sprint could have been an email, Sunday at Zandvoort definitely made up for it. Lando Norris took his second win in a row after a brilliant fight with Kimi Antonelli, while chaos unfolded behind them. In this Formula Fools Dutch Grand Prix review, David and Skin break down: • Lando’s incredible move on Kimi and McLaren’s aggressive strategy to take the win • Max Verstappen and Gabriel Bortoleto’s huge lap-one crashes — and how Hulkenberg somehow avoided disaster • Oscar Piastri’s brilliant overtaking, slow pit stop, and why his first strategy call may have screwed his entire race • Mercedes ordering George Russell aside for championship rival Kimi — and then not swapping them back • Ferrari’s messy race as Lewis chased Charles and the team struggled to control their own drivers • Carlos Sainz taking out Alex Albon, a double Haas DNF, and another painful weekend for Williams 🏁 Lando is suddenly flying, Kimi still holds a healthy championship lead, and McLaren look like they might have properly joined the fight.
