Lando, Oscar and the team returned from Summer Shutdown and headed into the Dutch Grand Prix full of confidence, but well aware that in F1, things can change in the blink of an eye.

It had been a long old break. Well earned and much needed, but given our form heading into the summer, we were itching to get back out onto the track and keep it up.

Armed with fresh upgrades, the team arrived in the Netherlands aiming to pick up from where they left off, having gone into the break with 11 podiums from the previous 10 rounds, including two wins... 

... and we departed Circuit Zandvoort with 38 points and plenty more silverware to add to our trophy cabinet.

As always, you did a fantastic job of covering the race on social media, and we've compiled our favourite posts from you below. 

Miss us?

It’s good to be back

Papaya as far as the eye can see.

Despite losing the lead when the lights went out, Lando remained within touching distance of Verstappen and had his eyes set on an overtake.

There´s the pace💪

— GrandStructure (@GrandStructure) August 25, 2024

That’s how it’s done.

MY GOATTTT

And now it’s Oscar’s turn... What could he do in clean air?

LET’S GO OSCAR

— katie ⁸¹ P1ASTRI & NORR1S (@HEART4PIASTRI) August 25, 2024

Pull off a beautiful overtake of Russell, that's what.

He’s on the hunt 💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I am on the edge of my seat! He's winning it!

A huge effort from Lando, Oscar and the entire team. We can’t wait to add even more trophies to our collection in the remainder of the season.

We've stood on 12 out of 15 podiums this season.

That's an incredible stat.

Look back just a few minutes and we were battling to get into Q2 on a Saturday.

This is incredible. Loving how we've developed this car. Huge credit to the team.#FansLikeNoOther #WhateverItTakes

Thankfully, this week, we don’t have long to wait until the next race, as we head to Monza for this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix. We’ll see you all there, Papaya Army!
