A rapid writeup today, as I’m unfortunately quite busy:

DUTCH GP SPRINT:

Not a lot that particularly happened. I’m increasingly of the opinion that sprint races are a waste of time/money/energy and we’re better served by having another two practice sessions. The only notable overtake within the top ten was Charles Leclerc overtaking Lando Norris for P2.

DUTCH GP QUALI:

Defending world champion Lando Norris is back on pole! McLaren has significant improved over the Summer break while everyone else seems to have languished. As a Ferrari fan, I return to my usual state of disappointment as Leclerc and Hamilton start from the third row. I remain optimistic, however, that anything can happen.
