Round 15 of the 2024 F1 Championship takes place in the Netherlands this weekend, as Max Verstappen looks to extend his series lead on home soil.
He will need to find form quickly, however, after failing to podium in either of the last two races, which saw both Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc slowly but surely close the gap on the reigning champ.
For Aussie fans, all eyes will be on Melbourne-born Oscar Piastri, as he looks to keep up his hot performances, coming off of two podiums including his first-ever F1 race win in Hungary.
