Welcome to our regular post-race round-up, a final look at the action, where we’ll break down the best and the bonkers of F1 from across the weekend. From our favourite photos to the slickest fits we spotted, plus all the behind-the-scenes goodness you might have missed.
After a brief break from racing due to F1’s summer shutdown, the Dutch Grand Prix presented a welcome return to normality. Although, it was a weekend of contrasting emotions on track in Zandvoort, as Oscar won for the seventh time this season, converting Pole, while Lando suffered an unfortunate retirement despite showing strong pace throughout the Grand Prix.
Away from the track, our Marketing Team wasted no time getting back up to speed. They started the weekend on the front foot, following up a major announcement on Wednesday with a fun fan giveaway, a unique driver arrival image, and a controversial food-themed take from Oscar on Thursday, all before we’d clocked any mileage. Here, we’ll look back over those moments and more.
Moment of the weekend
A priceless performance
Calvin Harris performing a DJ set in Amsterdam, papaya-clad in McLaren merchandise, wouldn’t have been on many bingo cards ahead of the season.
The Scottish artist, who hails from Dumfries, was joined by Zak Brown, Lando and Oscar at a live fan event in the Netherlands, as we announced that we would become the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team from 2026 onwards.
On stage, Zak, Lando, and Oscar shared details of the partnership, revealing our new team name and how it will allow us to offer our fans even more exclusive, behind-the-scenes access and one-of-a-kind experiences.
