After the three week break, Formula 1 is back on track and he does it with the Dutch Grand Prix. Summer break – as the good ones define it – concluded, batteries recharged and only one goal: push again. We start again from home Max, the true dominator of the season, who dreams of victory even in the face of the orange tide expected for this weekend. It goes without saying that all the odds lean towards him.
Ferrari: the Dutch GP to chase Mercedes
Great attention also at home Ferrari. Both Sainz and Leclerc positively assessed the summer break, which is essential for starting again. The objective declared by the team seems to be very clear: second place in the constructors' category. Looking at the ranking, it is certainly not an easy goal to achieve, but not impossible either. First of all, we will have to work step by step: Ferrari is currently fourth, only five points away from Aston Martin, which - up until Belgium - seemed to be in enough difficulty with both Alonso and Lance Stroll. The first objective for the Prancing Horse will be to try to overtake the Silverstone team, and then focus on Mercedes, 56 points away.

Without forgetting McLaren
After a month of July full of results and podiums, in McLaren they entered the summer break with the disappointing result at Spa-Francorchamps. The Papaya team will want to try to build on the performances of England and Hungary, without forgetting Piastri's "podium" achieved in the Belgian Sprint. There will be no shortage, as also admitted by Andrea Stella, updates which further certify how McLaren will do everything to reach fourth position in the constructors' championship.
