Best result of the season for George: Formula One travelled to Circuit Zandvoort in the Netherlands last weekend for the second instalment of a triple-header that marked the resumption of action after the summer break. Following the return of the Dutch Grand Prix to the #racing calendar last year, the premier class of motorsport was back again in front of sold-out grandstands and the amazing backdrop of the North Sea sand dunes. After the disappointment of the Spa-Francorchamps race weekend, the W13 put in a much-improved performance. In an action-packed race compromised by one virtual and one regular safety car deployment, #georgerussell made his sixth podium appearance of the season, this time for a P2 which also happens to be his best result to date for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS #f1 Team. By contrast, fortune did not smile on Lewis Hamilton. The team took a gamble on strategy when a late safety car was deployed, taking their only option to challenge Max Verstappen for victory by opting to retain track position on six lap old Medum tyres, rather than pitting for Softs in an attempt to keep the Dutchman behind. Ultimately, however, the tyre offset between the Medium and newer Softs was too great and Lewis dropped to fourth behind Verstappen, George and Charles Leclerc, who all pitted.
