It's doesn't have the glitz, glamour or iconic harbour, but Zandvoort looked a lot like Monaco early on Saturday as the Dutch Grand Prix Sprint race took centre stage.

F1 racing returned from its summer break with what, for much of the 24 laps run at Saturday lunchtime in the Netherlands, looked like a procession. George Russell took the win from pole position, despite never having a lead of more than about two seconds.

The main contenders ran within a second or two of each other for the majority of the race but overtaking, Kimi Antonelli bagging Oscar Piastri on the first lap for fourth place aside, proved difficult. Charles Leclerc's late-race move on Lando Norris was the only pass for a points position outside of the first lap.

Rain threatened to make the last few laps of the race interesting, but the heavens didn't open until Russell crossed the line to take the chequered flag, just a couple of minutes too late to spice things up.

Lewis Hamilton's frustrating weekend continued, staring at the back of Max Verstappen's Red Bull for the full 24 laps to finish in seventh place, exactly where he started.
