2022 F1 Dutch GP – How to watch, session timings and more
The 2022 Formula 1 season rumbles on this weekend with the Dutch Grand Prix on the 2-4 September.
The Zandvoort race is the middle leg of an intense F1 triple-header, with Max Verstappen returning to his home event fresh from a dominant victory at the Belgian GP.
The reigning F1 world champion’s ninth win of the season puts him 93 points clear at the top of the standings from nearest rival and Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez.
Charles Leclerc and Ferrari will be hoping to bounce back from yet another tough race, as he dropped to sixth place due to a five-second penalty for speeding in the pitlane late in the Spa race while pitting for fresh tyres to target the bonus point for fastest lap.
Off the track, the Dutch GP is set to be the first time the F1 paddock reconvenes following an outcome to the F1 Contract Recognition Board hearing on Oscar Piastri’s future between Alpine and McLaren.
That could have an impact on the latest F1 drive market saga, with Pierre Gasly linked with a move to Alpine during the Belgian GP weekend.
