Overview

  • Piastri leads Norris 284–275 as the season restarts with 10 Grands Prix and three Sprint events remaining.
  • Sunday’s Dutch Grand Prix airs free-to-air on RTL with coverage from 14:00 and lights out at 15:00 local time; Sky/WOW carry all sessions.
  • The FIA announced a race-weekend rule change intended to boost excitement, and teams largely arrive with only small tweaks as development shifts to 2026.
  • Verstappen enters his home race third in the standings, about 97 points off the lead after a winless stretch and ongoing Red Bull handling woes he described as sometimes ‘unfahrbar.’
  • Cadillac confirmed Sergio Pérez and Valtteri Bottas for its 2026 debut as a Ferrari customer team, a move that further reduces Mick Schumacher’s prospects of an F1 return.
