Strategy corner - How rain could upend F1 Dutch GP tactics

Pirelli’s ongoing quest to provide strategic variation has come up short at Zandvoort, largely owing to the relatively short lap (4.259km) and the narrowness of its layout. Overtaking hasn’t been easy here given the speed of modern F1 cars, even with the conversion of the final corner to a banked profile. A narrow, crowded lap naturally prompts teams to default to a one-stop strategy here to ...

Toto Wolff has conceded it feels odd not to have his bitter long-time Formula 1 rival Christian Horner to spar against after the latter's Red Bull exit. Horner was removed from his position as Red Bull boss after July's British Grand Prix, ending a successful two-decade reign that made him one of F1's biggest and divisive players.
