Ferrari immediately appeared in trouble on the Dutch track. Ready, via and the Emilian team has experienced, without speed or rhythm, all the dried mixes brought to Holland by Pirelli. Traffic and track exits characterized the start of the first free practice. Lewis Hamilton He had a Testacoda in curve 3, while Antonelli was blocked in the gravel outside Curve 9. The asphalt of the very close Zandvoort track has dirty, creating further inconvenience to the 20 strongest pilots in the world. Despite the kilometers ground in subsequent sessions, the situation for the SF-25 has not improved. For the third time in three PL Norris sessions he closed with the fastest time, demonstrating great feeling. The Englishman also won in the past season, launching a strong message to Oscar Plastri.
In qualifying was immediately treading between the two McLaren in Q1. The challenge made itself tight between Plastri and Norris who, with thousandths strokes, kept the fans with the breath suspended until the photo finish. The final picture of Q3 saw Piastri ahead of the teams of only 12 thousandths. In the second row, an extraordinary Verstappen, home idol, and a super hadjar of Racing Bulls arrived. George Russell took place in front of Leclerc and Hamilton’s two Ferraris, separated by a few thousandths, but in half second abundant from the top.
When the lights the poleman is turned off Plate It was injured to close the door immediately, avoiding giving the team’s interior to the interior. The Australian maneuver allowed Max Verstappen to carry out a miraculous overtaking, climbing and risking ending up off the track. Jos’s son of art gave a show in front of the home audience, inserting himself among the Papaya Boys. When Hamilton went down the first drops of rain, he concluded his race against the curve wall-3 on tour 23. The same fate, at the same point, had Charles Leclerc. The latter had been stubborn to fight against a Russell in the day, managing to be the author of a bad overtaking against English, but which was worth it shortly.
Kimi Antonelli, in the well -known parabolic curve, hit Leclercdeciding to make a more internal trajectory. The Italian has badly calculated the maneuver by putting his muzzle in the side of the Ferrarist rival, who returned after the pit stop. The Rookie ventured an impossible overtaking on the SF-25 of the number 16, which went to the head-coupon and was forced to retire after slamming against the barriers. The contact, which took place precisely between the right front of Antonelli and the left rear of Leclerc, was sanctioned with 10 seconds of penalty. At the end of the race Leclerc (vote 7) commented on the episode as follows: “Surely I regret the accident with Kimi because it happened in a phase of the race in which everything could still happen. Unfortunately, today it ended earlier than I wanted. Errors happen, I don’t want to go in detail because I didn’t see the accident. On this track you have to be incisive in overtaking, but inside in curve 3 it was a slightly difficult point“.
I top 3
Oscar Piastri: 9 – Perfect in qualifying, to the shutdown of the traffic lights and in the many restarts caused by the entrances of the safety car. The retreat of Lando Norris weighs like a boulder, despite all the Australian, success was built with a precise guide and without smudging. After the success of 2024 the great favorite was Norris. Thirty -four points ahead in September are an excellent booty of points in view of the highlight of the season. There McLaren He demonstrated an overwhelming superiority, but the goal was to put the wheels in front of the Teammate in Zandvoort and he succeeded. Perfect on the three restarts from Safety Car, a phenomenal in practically never granting the DRS to opponents, brought home the seventh success in 2025. His first title in the World Cup begins to become a concrete possibility. Norris will have to overcome and can no longer have half bad luck at the wheel of the McL39.
Isack Hadjar: 8 – Behind Max in the order of arrival, but in front of today’s votes. The Franco-Algerian pilot has shown exponential growth in his first vintage in F1, which began with an accident in the formation of the first 2025 Grand Prix. The young talent of the Red Bull Racing Academy and never lost heart, managing to extract the maximum potential from a Racing Bull anything but perfect. He still has a lot to learn but at 20 he is the most promising of the Marko school. The podium is a destination giftborn from the sudden technical problem to Norris’ McLaren (vote 7), however it is necessary to stay there. The fourth chrono in qualifying, in front of Ferrari and Mercedes, made the difference. The points of Lawson and Tsunoda together do not make the 37 of Hadjar in the ranking.
Max Verstappen: 7 – He was highly anticipated on his track and did not disappoint expectations. Immediately argued at the start, Max sent the crowds into visible with an impressive rhythm. The overtaking to Norris was as a film library, but would have concluded third without the DNF of the rival. More than this cannot ask at his own at the moment RB21. He won three editions in the Netherlands but this time he could not have beaten piastri.
I flop 3
Lewis Hamilton: 4 – Sunday as a former champion who no longer has much to offer to F1. It would deserve an even lower vote, but the qualification on Leclerc’s times, after the errors in free practice, seemed the prelude to a good race. Not even a SF-25 closer to its characteristics have avoided a bad figure. Before the Start of the GP of Holland, the former Mercedes pilot had ended up under investigation for not slowing down in the double yellow flag regime during the reconnaissance, that is, those laps of preparation from the opening of the Pit Lane before the start. The 105 stages in F1 will have to serve a penalty of five positions on the starting grid in the GP d’Italia.
Liam Lawson: 3 – His teammate celebrated the first podium in his career, while he ruins a good starting position, hitting an innocent Sainz, also mocked by an incorrect decision of the judges. The New Zealand concluded in twelfth place and does not seem to have the cards to stay in F1.
Some Antonelli: 2 – Rookie race with little talent or lucidity. He had not entered Q3 for cents, but he had managed to reassemble in the race. Once far from traffic, when he could have struggled with Leclerc he remedied an avoidable double penalty that extended it from the points area. A grave error And another weekend thrown to the wind.
