The Dutch Grand Prix is behind us, and with the rain, we can look back on a race in which surprising things happened. But was this the most enjoyable race of this season so far? We are curious to hear your opinion.

The race got off to an unusual start, as it was still dry at the start, but after just one lap it rained hard. Several drivers decided to pit to change to intermediates. The starting positions had almost no influence, as the whole field was mixed up. Later, it started raining again, after which several drivers slid off the track. There was a red flag, and the race continued on a wet track even after that.

Other contenders

An example of another contender for the title of most enjoyable race so far is the Australian Grand Prix. The race was very chaotic, with no less than THREE red flags, one of which was caused by the restart after the second red flag. Spectacular it certainly was!

Another race that might be a contender is the British Grand Prix. At this Grand Prix, McLaren were suddenly surprisingly strong. The Woking-based team was still at the back of the field at the beginning of the year, but in the opening stages of the race, Lando Norris was even in the lead. Also, rookie Oscar Piastri only just grabbed a podium. Another spectacular race!
