The winners of the Netherlands Grand Prize
Oscar Piastri won the Netherlands Grand Prix with a dominant performance from the pole position. The McLaren pilot led the race from beginning to end, while his teammate Lando Norris suffered an abandonment for Motor failures when I marched in second position. Max Verstappen, running at home, achieved second place with Red Bull, followed by the surprising Isack Hadjar, who went up to the podium with Racing Bulls.
The race showed McLaren’s good moment, which with Piestri at the head of the championship and Norris as an escort, maintain their position as the most competitive team of the season. Ferrari, meanwhile, had a weekend to forgetwith both pilots outside the competition before the checkered flag. Charles Leclerc unbridled his SF-24 in the first round, and Hamilton, now with the Italian team, could not add either. Ferrari lost ground against Mercedes, who with George Russell and Kimi Antonelli cut differences. The weekend he evidenced the weaknesses of the red car in circuits with high aerodynamic load such as Zandvoort, where the “soil effect” and the perals expose the shortcomings in the chassis.
Franco Colapinto’s career in Zandvoort
Franco Colapinto achieved his best result of the season at the end of 11 with Alpine. The Argentine pilot departed from position 16 and made a solid race, with several overtaking that brought him closer to the points zone. However, a series of strategic decisions of the team and the intervention of the security car prevented him from specifying his objective.
Colapinto showed a good rhythm during the race, surpassing his teammate Pierre Gasly twice. However, In Vuelta 17 he received the order to give the position to Gaslywhich relegated it to position 15. Despite this, the Argentine recovered ground in the final turns and ended only one position of the points. “It was a good weekend. I feel more consistent with the car and more comfortable”said Colapint at the end of the race, although he also expressed his frustration for not having managed to add points: “We needed to do a better team job. It was very easy to add points today.”
The Argentine, despite his good performance, still does not add. The next race in Monza will be key. If you do not achieve points there, where the Renault engine usually gives better, its continuity in the F1 could be complicated. Briatore, who on Friday had said that “perhaps arrived early” to the category, acknowledged after the race that Colapinto did “His best performance of the year.”
