The F1 summer break is almost over, with the Dutch Grand Prix being the next stop on the calendar. Can Ferrari and Red Bull introduce measures to close the gap to McLaren?
As the summer break comes to an end, F1 is gearing up for the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort circuit next weekend, with limited major updates expected due to factory closures. Teams are likely to rely on the setups used in Austria and Hungary for the narrow and twisting Zandvoort track. Ferrari is reportedly combining setups from both previous races to optimize downforce and balance on the SF-25 at key points of the Dutch circuit. Following the lessons from Hungary, teams are focusing on vehicle dynamics to avoid issues like high plank wear and underperformance, with Red Bull also tweaking aerodynamics for better agility at Max Verstappen’s home race.
