2022 Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix Preview

2022 Dutch GP Winner Prediction

Spa was in it’s own right a great race and it brought with it the good news F1 will return to Spa next season. Next stop in our triple header is Zandvoort, Holland which is a narrow old school track that was brought up to F1 standards by its owners over the past three years to host the Formula 1 World Championship much to the delight and delight of the Redbull and Max fans in the Netherlands. Since the last race being hosted here was in the 1980’s not many people, not even the teams, knew what to expect. Max and his team had a delightful double Dutch experience last year as he dominated the 14.25-kilometer track, bringing a mass of orange sea to the Dutch shores as his fans celebrated his victory.

The Unstoppable Max and His Raging Red Bull

Max, who is riding his red bull on a blisteringly fast Red Bull would be called “unstappenable” if F1 were a Texas rodeo. He looks much more relaxed than he did in F1 during his previous seasons. There are no more poor racing decisions, errors or lack of patience. Max looks now like a complete racing driver. He is focused, committed, and ready to ascend the throne of F1 and become the true king, at least in contemporary times. His driving style reminds of Ayrton Senna who is widely regarded as the greatest racer of all time. We are very fortunate to witness the rise of this legend in this sport. Max is a safe bet at the moment, and I can confirm that. However, it is important to do your research before each Grand Prix, especially if motorsport is not something you are familiar with.

Favorite Picks This Weekend, Doubts For Charles

Red Bull will make every effort to improve and replicate last year’s result and achieve another consecutive 1-2. Ferrari fans have some hope, however, as Zandvoort’s banked corners and tight twisting turns seem to favor the Scuderia car more. The Ferrari will be fast around this track, provided their drivers are able to do it all correctly, their reliability is maintained, and their strategists don’t make mistakes. Ferrari has put themselves in a difficult position. They must improve or they will be second in the championship. This is not something they should consider at this stage, even though it’s becoming more difficult for Ferrari to climb. Although Charles’ efforts are not worthy, it’s unfair and unjust. However, I believe that he has much to do to achieve Max’s level. The Monegasque is a stunning driver. His rise from lower Formula Series was amazing to watch, and everyone back then could agree that this man is a world champion in his making. He’s still a champion in his making, and while he has all the characteristics of a world champion, it’s not yet at Max’s level. However, as he’s shown so far, he can perform at Max’s level. Charles will one day be a world champion, that’s certain. But it remains to be seen if it will be with Ferrari.

Will the Silver Arrows Shine Through?

After a poor qualifying session, Mercedes was hoping to rebound on race day at Spa. However, they were disappointed when Lewis Hamilton made an uncharacteristic error and collided on lap one with Fernando Alonso’s Apine. This forced him to retire his car while George Russel finished in a respectable P4. Can we expect them to be back on the podium at Zandvoort this weekend, with no long straights that could compromise their car at Zandvoort? They can do it. If they can repeat Red Bull’s strategy last season, they may even be able to get the win. While I am certain their tire wear and degradation will differ from last year, there may be something here in Holland for Silver Arrows. We could see them up there at the front.

You should also be aware of other drivers

Pierre Gasly was a great driver last year, keeping up with all three of the top cars around this circuit. Although his car isn’t performing at the same level this year, it could still be good enough to finish in the points. McLaren, a British outfit, brought the most upgrades to Spa last weekend. McLaren has had a disappointing season so far, with a poor car, little to no improvement with their upgrades and bad strategy decisions, as well as losing world-class drivers. Although you might think that they had a good season, the focus has been on Ferrari. McLaren’s season was worse than those of their Italian counterparts. This is a team at the top level and should be competing among the top five cars, rather than fighting for points. Their car had too much drag, which caused them to slow down in Spa. Can they use this data and create a high-downforce setup that is better suited to Zandvoort? As I’m starting to question their decision at a top management level, one would think so. Zack Brown may seem like the coolest F1 CEO and Andreas Seidel a very professional and intelligent team principal, but something isn’t right. Oscar Piastri, F2 champion, could be the next rising star of auto racing. This may cause some problems. What will he think and evaluate at this stage if he declines Alpine’s seat, who are also having managerial problems?
