F1's back, baby! Rain will "Unleash the Lion" | F1 2025 #DutchGP Preview

After a mandatory "holiday", Formula 1 is back this weekend with the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix. Yes, Max Verstappen's home race.

What are the key talking points this weekend? What will the media play up, and what will the teams play down?

Also, we're racing at a legendary circuit - Zandvoort. Enjoy it as long as it lasts!

Will rain "Unleash the Lion" aka Max Verstappen at home in front of the Orange Army? Could the cooler conditions bring Mercedes into contention, and similarly, will Ferrari have used the summer break wisely to add a spring to their step?

As for McLaren, the Drivers' Championship battle between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris resumes at Zandvoort. Will the summer break have halted Norris' momentum (he won 3 out of 4 races prior to the summer break)?

Lots in store this weekend, including overtaking moves at Turn 1, Turn 3 and maybe the Turn 11-12 sequence? Pirelli is bringing tyre compounds that are one step softer than last year + the pit lane speed limit is up from 60 kmph to 80 kmph. We will see a variety of race strategy at play, and this could spice up the action on-track and in the pit lane.

Soumil Arora and Kunal Shah preview the upcoming 2025 Dutch Grand Prix.
