00:00Here's another episode of Coffee with F1, this time to talk about the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix.
00:06Come with us!
00:21And the curse continues at the Dutch Grand Prix.
00:24Once again in the 2026 Formula 1 season, a driver retires from the race at home.
00:28This time, Max Verstappen ended the race on the second lap.
00:33when it spun on the walled part of the track and ended up against the wall.
00:36And he was the one who was left with nothing but dust this week.
00:44He didn't even have time to have his first breakfast and the four-time champion was already out of the race.
00:49On a track where the crowd expected to see him fighting for the win,
00:52Verstappen ended up being the first of six drivers to leave the competition.
00:56Alex Albon, Valtteri Bottas, Esteban Ocol, Lance Stroll and Oliver Berman
01:00They joined the Dutchman in the garage before the end of the 72 laps.
01:13Back on top, Lando Norris is our strong coffee in Zandberg.
01:18The British McLaren driver started from pole position, but didn't have an easy time at the beginning.
01:22Antonelli had a great start.
01:25Hamilton also got involved in the fight, and the lead changed hands several times throughout the race.
01:30Norris, however, knew how to wait.
01:32When the opportunity arose, he went for it and regained the lead.
01:36and from there he built a comfortable lead all the way to the checkered flag.
01:39actually finishing 10 seconds behind second place.
01:43It wasn't a ready-made coffee.
01:45It was one of those that gained momentum as the laps went by.
01:48That's the kind of victory that's a joy to watch.
01:56If you'll allow me, our espresso this time isn't going to a pilot.
02:00Yes, for one team, Mercedes.
02:02Antonelli got off to a better start and overtook Russell, even fighting for the lead.
02:07Later, Hamilton even managed to take the lead during a series of pit stops.
02:11But when the dust settled, Mercedes had two cars in contention for the podium.
02:15And yet, he still had to manage a minor internal battle to stay in the top 3.
02:20In the final stretch, Russell managed to defend well against Antonelli's attacks.
02:23But the team requested a change of positions.
02:26Thus, Kimi finished second, with George right behind him in third.
02:31A double podium finish that didn't come without tension.
02:34But it shows how Mercedes returned from vacation still very strong.
02:37Despite this, it also shows the tension between Kimi Antonelli and George Russell.
02:43who are competing for first place in the 2026 World Drivers' Championship.
02:53The coffee guard of the week is shared between Oscar Piastre and Gabriel Bortoleto, our Brazilian.
03:00The Australian started the race among the leaders and even appeared in contention for the lead.
03:06But it lost momentum as the race progressed.
03:08After a mistake by McLaren in the pit stop, he dropped behind Russell.
03:12and ended up losing positions to Leclerc and Hamilton.
03:16In the end, Piastre finished only in sixth place.
03:19and saw Norris open up a significant lead in the internal battle at McLaren,
03:24with a result well below what was expected from the Australian.
03:27Bortoleto also had a complicated race in the Netherlands.
03:31The Brazilian started ninth, but lost four positions on the very first lap.
03:35and even dropped to 15th place after the restart.
03:38This result is well below the potential shown by the Brazilian at the start of the weekend.
03:43in qualifying, in practice, and in the sprint race itself.
03:47And that was the Coffee with F1 segment for the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix.
