The weekend in Spa-Francorchamps went completely different than expected. Formula 1 doesn't have much time to think about that, because in four days time there will be another race in the Netherlands. At Zandvoort, Honda will be hoping for a new victory in its 51st race with Red Bull Racing.
The Dutch GP is the middle one in a triple-header with Belgium and Monza next. For the drivers, teams and engine manufacturers it will be a real journey of discovery from Friday when the race starts at Zandvoort. Formula 1 has not been held in the Netherlands for 36 years.

Preparations Honda

By AS-Web Toyoharu Tanabe asked what specifically is being done on the engine front to be as prepared as possible for the start this weekend. "We are tuning the power unit based on the track data and the team's simulation results. The details are not yet aligned, so we will continue with further preparations."
Last weekend Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda all received new engine components. These were actually only used in qualifying, as no race kilometres were made.
