10 things we learned at the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix

There was no shortage of action at the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix, but for a ninth Formula 1 race in a row, the winner was the same. Max Verstappen put another record in his sights with a convincing victory despite two rain showers, heading two teams that ended mini podium droughts, while a new rule and rookie driver made their first appearances. Here's what we learned from Zandvoort

Max Verstappen looks essentially unstoppable in Formula 1 right now, but his 2023 Dutch Grand Prix victory was a masterclass in changing circumstances.

He delighted his home fans for a third year in a row, with pictures of the crowd dancing throughout the late-race red flag stoppage entertaining many watching from afar, but Verstappen really had to work for this one.

This is because others, including Sergio Perez, made better lap-one calls to stop for intermediates and Verstappen had to battle back. Behind him, there was a resurgence for Aston Martin, bad strategy calls from McLaren and Mercedes, and yet more misery for Ferrari. Williams grabbed the headlines across the weekend and the Zandvoort track itself created a unique rules situation.

All that and more is presented in the pick of what we learned from F1's latest visit to the Netherlands.
