• Carlos Sainz and Formula 1 as a whole return from the summer break this weekend with the Dutch GP, a race with one of the best atmospheres in the entire calendar.
• The Williams race driver has finished fifth in his last two visits to the circuit of Zandvoort, which poses a unique challenge to all drivers due to its banked corners and a track that is narrow for today’s standards in Formula 1.
• Williams heads to the second half of the season with the clear goal of strengthening itself in the fifth place of the Constructors Championship, where they lead Aston Martin by 18 points.

QUOTES:
“Carlos Sainz: I’m excited to get back to racing after the summer break, and Zandvoort is a fun circuit to return to, with its banked corners and flowing layout. After a rest, I’m ready to tackle the second part of the year with renewed energy and focus on executing solid weekends to extract our maximum performance from the car and stay in the fight for P5 in the Championship! Vamos!”.
