The summer break is finally over as Formula 1 returned with a bang at the Dutch Grand Prix this Sunday. And what a race to come back to.

From the start, the weather set the tone with wet conditions and constant uncertainty, and the drama unfolded almost immediately.

Lewis Hamilton crashed out early, Kimi Antonelli tangled with Charles Leclerc to end Ferrari’s second car, and in a heartbreaking twist, Lando Norris, running strongly in P2, suffered an engine failure. That retirement not only ended his race but also dealt a blow to his championship hopes, widening the gap to his teammate Oscar Piastri, who went on to take the victory for McLaren.

But it wasn’t all bad news. Formula 1 Rookie Isack Hadjar delivered a stunning drive to secure his first-ever Formula 1 podium, finishing P3 alongside race winner Piastri and home hero Max Verstappen in P2. The race also sparked debate as Carlos Sainz and Liam Lawson collided, a clash that ultimately earned the Williams driver a 10-second penalty.
