Formula 1 Resumes at Dutch GP with 10 Races Left, Piastri Leads McLaren, Alonso Shines, Stroll Crashes

The 2025 Formula 1 season resumed at the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort with 10 races remaining in the championship. Oscar Piastri leads McLaren with a nine-point advantage over teammate Lando Norris, intensifying the intra-team battle on home soil for Max Verstappen, who currently sits third in the drivers' standings. The weekend saw promising performances from Aston Martin, notably Fernando Alonso, who started strongly. However, the session was interrupted by a red flag after Lance Stroll crashed his Aston Martin during free practice, causing damage to his car. The Dutch Grand Prix is seen as a critical event for Verstappen to regain ground in front of his home crowd.
