    This race is known for having one of the most exuberant fan atmospheres on the Formula 1 calendar. Circuit Zandvoort is one of my favorite tracks in F1 and we usually see some great racing on this track. Apart from the on-track action, there will be many trackside events and activities happening throughout the weekend to make the whole experience for fans more enjoyable. These activities include driver appearances, DJ performances, and fan meetups. The last few races before the summer break were great and I expect to see another good one as everyone makes a comeback after taking a much-needed break.

    Will the second half of the season just be a rerun of the first half? Ferrari's in fourth...and the only reason that is safe for them is that all the other teams are so bad. Of all the active drivers, only Alonzo remembers what it used to be like when championships were fought for on the track. Maybe they'll change the series name from Formula 1 to Formula Prius.

    The key storylines to follow as F1 returns from summer break- Autosport

    Red Bull is backing Perez; will it be a costly mistake?
    Can McLaren actually win the title? (WCC)
    Will Red Bull lose further pillars?(People)

    How will Oliver Oakes fare as Alpine boss?

    Albon: Norris unlikely to 'take it off Max' in F1 title fight

    I can see this but Max needs a car that is faster/reliable and needs to be mistake free overall. One DNF and a low finish and we have game on assuming Norris keeps his fragility in check. GO PIASTRI :)

    I still hate Eddie Jordan for introducing the summer break to F1.

    Time to go racing again.

    We asked for a lack of total domination as was displayed last year. Sure Ferrari are not optimal. The big picture of F1 is very dynamic this year and worth enjoying!

    Also, F1 has really clamped down on Twitter posts of anyone using the "F1" in their header insignia I believe. They're still going thru Twitter to find those posters.
