F1's summer break is over: the 10-race run-in to the end of the season starts in the Netherlands and historic Zandvoort this weekend.
After the factory shutdowns and holidays, the season will resume with the chasing pack aiming to change a narrative which has seen Red Bull win every race so far - and runaway title leader Max Verstappen the last eight.

Verstappen's hunt for a record-equalling nine on the spin takes him back to home soil and a race in front of his 'Orange Army', who have made the venue by the dunes of the North Sea coast one of the sport's noisiest and atmospheric since Zandvoort returned to F1 for the first time in three decades in 2021.
The penultimate European round of the season sees familiar start times for UK audiences live on Sky Sports F1:
- The Grand Prix starts at 2pm this Sunday, with build-up from 12.30pm
While Verstappen, also eyeing a hat-trick of home wins, will inevitably start as favourite, the pre-summer break battle behind the Dutchman continued to be unpredictable.
Five different drivers from five different teams finished second to Verstappen in the space of six races, bunching up the standings in the battle for the other leading positions in the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships.
Old rivals Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton are separated by just a point in third and fourth places respectively, while Aston Martin are coming under pressure from Ferrari for their position behind Red Bull and Mercedes in the constructors'.
