F1 has returned to the Netherlands for the 15th race of the season. It was the homeboy Max Verstappen of Red Bull who came out as the clear winner once again. However, the supremacy battle wasn’t easy as Red Bull and Mercedes both gambled for the victory.

The Zandvoort race looked to be tedious, with Verstappen crushing everyone on the track, until Lap 45. Yuki Tsunoda of AlphaTauri stopped on the track, saying the tires on his car weren’t fitted properly. The Japanese went back to pits on Lap 48 to counter the problem.

Despite pitting, Tsunoda faced problems again and parked his car outside the track, thus bringing a virtual safety car. Verstappen and Hamilton saw the opportunity and pitted for medium tires. The drama didn’t end there as Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas pulled up just before turn 1 on Lap 55.

The pull-up by Bottas brought in another safety car where the Dutchman pitted again on lap 57 for soft tires. The series of safety cars and pit stops got the race on its heel again where Max Verstappen was right behind Lewis Hamilton, bringing in the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix memories.
