Following three weeks off, F1 picks up the pace once again by starting a run of 10 races in 14 weeks to round out the season.
The main focus will be on if any of the teams can halt Red Bull’s unbeaten 2023 campaign so far, while Max Verstappen goes into his home round off the back off eight straight wins. The Dutch driver has the chance to equal Sebastian Vettel’s all-time record of nine consecutive F1 wins this weekend.
Despite all F1 teams going into summer shutdown, a sharp focus will be given to any upgrade packages that appear at Zandvoort while the majority of teams begin to switch development focus towards 2024.
Having enjoyed two races on his F1 return before the summer pause, Daniel Ricciardo will also look to impress on his return at AlphaTauri, having replaced Nyck de Vries before the Hungarian GP in July.
