McLaren and Red Bull bring upgrades, none for Mercedes and Ferrari

Formula 1 has arrived in Zandvoort after the month-long summer break. Before the summer shutdown, Mercedes were the in-form team, winning three of the last four races. Only four teams haven't changed their car from the last race in Belgium, with two of them being Mercedes and Ferrari. McLaren have brought the most upgrades with a total of six, whilst Red Bull have brought three.

The two other teams joining Mercedes and Ferrari in not bringing upgrades to Zandvoort were Aston Martin and Stake F1. McLaren are the team to make the most changes, with six upgrades brought to their MCL38, with only two circuit-specific. Norris will be hoping he can continue to close the gap to Max Verstappen at the top of the driver's standings. Red Bull are looking to return to winning ways having not won since Spain. They bring three upgrades to a circuit where Verstappen has dominated since its return to the F1 calendar.

Further down the grid, Williams have brought five upgrades to the Netherlands as they look to improve on their four points from the first half of the season.
