Lewis Hamilton has vowed to “keep going, even when it’s difficult” in a social media post ahead of Formula 1‘s return from its summer break this weekend.

The Brit has cut a miserable figure for much of his first season with Ferrari, amid a string of poor results by his own usually high standard.

Hamilton has encountered a plethora of issues with the Scuderia’s SF-25 this year, seeing him take just one solitary victory, coming in the China Sprint Race.

In a full Grand Prix, Hamilton has yet to take a podium finish, with four fourth-place finishes the best he has offered so far.

Over much of the season, he has been unable to match team-mate Charles Leclerc, his misery culminating in a Q2 exit from qualifying for the last round in Hungary.

It was this that led to a shocking post-qualifying comment that Ferrari should “change driver” after his “useless” performance, with Leclerc taking pole position in the same car.

Some have also speculated whether the 40-year-old’s time in the sport is at an end, with former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone suggesting possible replacements for him.

But taking to his Instagram ahead of this weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix, Hamilton conveyed a sense of rediscovered motivation.

“I’m always so grateful for this time, for the opportunity to rest and recharge,” he wrote.

“There’s a lot I’ve been meditating on. Every one of us is up against so much, both individually and globally.

“It’s so important that we embrace the light of truth and love and take care of ourselves so that we can better take care of others.

“We can’t look away. We have to keep going, even when it’s difficult.”

Ferrari, which has managed to produce an upgrade for its floor and rear suspension – two areas causing performance and results to suffer – will be hopeful of giving Hamilton a car able to compete starting in Zandvoort.

Hamilton currently sits sixth in the Drivers’ Championship with 109 points, 40 off fifth-placed Leclerc.

McLaren has signalled its intent for the second half of the Formula 1 season, with boss Andrea Stella confident the team can continue to assert dominance at next weekend’s Dutch Grand Prix.

After signing off before the summer break with four straight 1-2 finishes, Stella pointed to Zandvoort as a circuit where McLaren expects to be especially strong, having already excelled there last year with a less competitive car.

McLaren currently leads both championships, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri delivering dominant performances at the Hungaroring, Spa-Francorchamps, Silverstone, and the Red Bull Ring.

The form has raised expectations for Zandvoort, where Norris claimed the second victory of his career in 2024 with one of the most commanding performances of the year, winning by over 22 seconds.

Asked whether he saw any threat from rivals after qualifying in Hungary – where McLaren missed out on pole but still converted it into a fourth straight victory on Sunday – Stella pointed to the team’s relentless upgrade programme and consistent pace as proof their advantage is real.

“I think we have seen a very positive trend in terms of our competitiveness, especially I would say over the last three events in which we have finished in 1-2,” he told media including Motorsport Week.

“And like I said in some other interviews, this is not only because we started with a competitive car, but actually, we have upgraded the car since Canada with what was in the past a single instrument upgrade, so it would have been very noticeable.”

“McLaren bring a new car and improves by a few tenths of a second, but in the recent races, we have upgraded the car with some parts at pretty much each race. I think here, the Hungaroring, despite the result in Q3, has actually proven that the car is faster.”

“In every single session, we will have a P1-P2 by a decent chunk compared to the next team. This makes us very positive about the remainder of the season. We look forward to starting racing again after the shutdown.

Stella warns rivals of McLaren dominance at Zandvoort

With the team’s pace and consistency established, Stella turned his attention to the circuits where McLaren anticipates performing at its best in the remainder of the season.

He highlighted Zandvoort as a track where the team could dominate again, while also pointing to targeted adaptations for Monza and Las Vegas to ensure competitiveness across a variety of challenges.

“I think we have some tracks that will be favourable to us again, like Zandvoort,” he added. “And we have also done some specific work for some tracks like Monza or Vegas, in which not necessarily last year we were dominant, and we knew that we needed to do some work for the performance of the whole track.

“So we definitely look forward to the second part of the season, and we expect to be competitive.”

Mercedes’ George Russell has already branded McLaren the “runaway force” of the season – a claim Stella was asked to respond to in Hungary.

The Spaniard seems to share Russell’s view, sending a clear warning to rivals that more Papaya dominance is on the way.

Sauber will be forced to enter the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix under a revised full name due to strict laws in the country regarding gambling advertisements.

The Swiss squad is fully entered as Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber, after its title sponsor, a Curacao-based online casino firm.

It has been the team’s lead backer since last year, when Sauber cut its ties with Alfa Romeo amid its transition to Audi, which begins next season.

The Netherlands, which hosts F1’s first post-summer break round at Zandvoort next week, has recently introduced stricter laws, curbing adverts on gambling firms.

This encompasses sponsorships at sporting events and on competitors’ apparel, leaving Sauber with no option but to tweak its identity for the race.

Holland’s gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit [KSA] forbade Sauber from brandishing the company’s logo on its cars last year, but the team proceeded to do so anyway.

However, the team has heeded the warning this year, Zandvoort being the second time in 2025 in which it has been forced to undergo this change.

Similar laws in Belgium meant the team had to remove the company’s branding from both Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto’s C45s.

Sauber will arrive in Holland seventh in the Constructors’ Championship, having amassed much of its 51 points haul since the start of the European leg of the season.

Combined, Hulkenberg and Bortoleto have managed to help the team to top 10 finishes in the last six races, including the German’s maiden podium at Silverstone.

The Brazilian rookie was responsible for the team’s most recent points finish, a career-best sixth place last time out in Hungary.

Just one point behind Aston Martin, Sauber will hope to continue its momentum, as it aims to secure a positive midfield finish with its Audi identity change just months away.

Marco Bezzecchi settled for second place after stating that it was “almost impossible” to overtake MotoGP Assen race winner Marc Marquez.

The Italian secured his first double podium in a single weekend in Aprilia colours, finishing third in the Sprint and going one better with second place in the 100th anniversary TT.

Bezzecchi launched up to second in the early stages after starting from the middle of the second row, but inevitably finished 0.6s behind championship leader Marquez.

“I’m very, very happy, it was a fantastic race,” Bezzecchi said to Speedweek.

“I wanted to attack Marc [Marquez], but he had a little bit more in the quiver. I want to thank everyone, including the Academy and Vale. I hope the fans enjoyed it and I was able to offer them a show.”

“It was a very good weekend. I don’t know, because it’s been a long time since the last double podium with me.”

The 26-year-old explained that the factory Ducati rider was too strong through Turn 15, a corner notorious for overtakes, admitting that he never had a real opportunity to attempt an overtake.

“The race was fantastic. I wanted to fight with Marc,” he admitted.

“But in the second half of the race I had problems because he increased the pace. I gave everything to stay on, squeezed everything out of the motorcycle.

“Before the harassment I could try to overtake. In the other braking zones I was not so strong – I was equally good or even worse.

“I passed Alex [Marquez], I passed Pecco [Francesco Bagnaia] there, but Marc was a bit stronger in turn 15.

“With Marc it was almost impossible to try anything before the finish line. He was very fast in Turn 15.

“With the wind shadow it was difficult when turning the bike from Turn 14 to 15. I was able to hit the brake a little before Turn 16. In the last five rounds he has taken another step. But I had fun – I even had a lot of fun!”

Bezzecchi claimed his 11th grand prix podium of his premier class career thus far, and now is the lead non-Ducati rider in the standings.

The post Marco Bezzecchi: It was ‘almost impossible’ to overtake Marc Marquez in Assen MotoGP race appeared first on Motorsport Week.

Marc Marquez has called for “respect for all” MotoGP riders, after criticism of younger brother Alex Marquez surfaced during the Assen weekend.

The eight-time World Champion won both races at Assen after being pressured by brother Alex in the Sprint and Marco Bezzecchi in the main race.

However, the younger Marquez faced criticism for failing to overtake his older brother after Saturday’s race, despite appearing to be the quicker of the pair. 

After Bezzecchi was also unable to find a race-winning overtake on the Spanish rider during the main race, Marquez called for “respect” for all MotoGP riders. 

“It was really difficult,” Marquez said about Bezzecchi’s challenge.

“And coming from this question, I want to say to the people that they need to respect all the riders.

“Because yesterday in the media scrum they start to say your brother didn’t attack you as the other riders. Even some mechanics told me on social media people start to talk about things.

“And today Marco, why didn’t he attack me? In the end, if the front rider is in a very equal level, in this race track that is super narrow, you cannot attack the front riders.

“So, yesterday I defended Alex in the best way possible and today I defended Marco in the best way possible.

Marquez admitted his superior braking allowed him to take victory in both races, and reiterated all MotoGP riders “want to win.”

“And I knew that they were faster in that Turn 11/12, which is the fastest area and the narrowest area, narrow corners, and then if you are on the good line they cannot attack you.

“I was just strong on the brake points, so I defended in a very good way. In that way, I took 37 points.

“But one more time: respect the MotoGP riders because all of them defend their colours, defend their teams and all the grid wants to win, but the problem is only one can win.”

Marquez: ‘I raced with exactly the same set-up as Mugello’ in Assen MotoGP Triumph

Marquez continued his dominance by recording his third consecutive victory, and he will look to keep his streak going as he heads to the Sachsenring, a circuit where he has won 11 times in the past. 

The Spanish rider said he raced with the same bike as he did when he took his victories at Mugello, but revealed Ducati would revert back to the standard aero set-up ahead of the German GP. 

“Honestly speaking I raced with exactly the same set-up as Mugello, we didn’t touch anything,” Marquez said. 

“Just the biggest difference was the aerodynamics, but it was just because I crashed with one bike in FP1, on the third lap, and then I jumped to the second bike with the new aero.

“I get used to it and I said ‘ok, we keep it’, because one of my strong points of my riding style is getting used to the situation and getting used to the bike.

“Then of course in Sachsenring we will come back [to the standard aero] and retry again because it’s not very clear that it’s better or worse.”

Gresini Racing team manager Michele Masini revealed the extent of Alex Marquez’s injuries in detail after his retirement from the MotoGP Dutch Grand Prix.

The Spaniard tussled with KTM rider Pedro Acosta as both riders made contact on the exit of Turn 5, resulting in Marquez’s brake lever being pushed in.

As a result, Marquez dramatically fell to the floor before the rest of the riders went down the back straight.

The incident between Marquez and Acosta was later investigated by the stewards, but no further action took place.

Masini explained the crash in MotoGP’s After the Flag, stating: “Alex [Marquez] suffered a break of the second bone of the left hand and I think tonight, or at least tomorrow morning, he will have surgery in Madrid.

“It was a bad day for us definitely. I hope that he recovers in the right time, and also Fermin [Aldeguer] had a nasty crash but he’s ok at least.

“As you can see from the TV, he [Marquez] touched Pedro and he lost the right handlebar, but he also touched the front brake.

“So, we saw from the data a lot of pressure on the front brake and he crashed.”

Alex Marquez’s MotoGP return unclear: ‘This week will be crucial’

The next two MotoGP rounds at the Sachsenring and Brno are scheduled for the 11th to 13th July and 18th to 20th July before the summer break.

Following Marc Marquez’s Sunday success, the gap between both riders in the championship standings is now at 68 points.

When asked about a potential timeline for his return, Masini made it clear that the priority isn’t to rush Marquez back before he’s fully fit.

“No, we have to speak with the doctors I think tonight or tomorrow about the rehabilitation of the hand,” Masini added.

“We will see. The only thing we can say is I will ask Alex to take his time to recover well and restart from where we are, so at the top.

“I don’t know if in 10 days how he will feel. We will have to see during this week. This week will be crucial.”

Marc Marquez fended off race long pressure from Marco Bezzecchi to take victory in the Assen MotoGP race.

The Spaniard posted an impressive win after suffering two high-speed crashes on Friday to win both races at the 100th anniversary of the Dutch TT.

Fabio Quartararo had a poor start and was demoted to fourth place from pole position by Turn 1, while Francesco Bagnaia surged into the lead.

Marco Bezzecchi climbed up to third with an impressive lunge on Gresini’s Alex Marquez at the final corner.

KTM rider Pedro Acosta climbed up to fourth after an impressive lunge on Marquez at Turn 5 on Lap 4.

The factory Ducati duo of Bagnaia and Marquez maintained their superiority over the rest of the field. The latter made a strong move at the final corner on Lap 5 to take the lead.

KTM’s Pedro Acosta and Gresini’s Marquez duelled once again at Turn 5 on Lap 6. The pair tussled hard and made slight contact, which resulted in Marquez crashing out and retiring from the race.

He was taken to the medical centre, where it was revealed that he had fractured his left hand as a result.

Joan Mir and Fermin Aldeguer crashed out on Lap 7 together, but both riders escaped injury in what looked like a rough collision.

On Lap 8, Bezzecchi continued his strong pace to overtake his VR46 Academy stable mate Bagnaia, before catching up right to the back of Marquez.

A lap later, Acosta overtook Bagnaia at the same corner, resulting in three different manufacturers occupying the top three positions at the halfway stage.

VR46 Ducati rider Fabio Di Giannantonio recovered from 11th to seventh and posted back-to-back fastest laps, once again showing his true racing instinct.

The next few laps saw Bezzecchi cling behind Marquez but provided no fight or overtake, but the Spaniard got into the groove on Lap 14 and posted the best lap of the race.

Bagnaia successfully regained the final podium place following a super move on Acosta at the final corner.

The Italian posted back-to-back fastest laps but couldn’t quite close the gap to the rear of Bezzecchi’s Aprilia.

On Lap 21, Marquez received a track limits warning, meaning two further infringements would result in a long-lap penalty. Despite that, he managed to keep Bezzecchi at bay for the rest of the race.

The Spaniard equaled Giacomo Agostini as the second rider with the most MotoGP wins, now tied at 68.

Bezzecchi completed the race in a strong second for Aprilia, ending his racing weekend with two podium finishes.

Gonzalez rose further to claim fourth after moves on Dixon and Joe Roberts, and he was eyeing the perfect opportunity to take third off Oncu.

His superiority in the first sector saw multiple moves as he took third off the Turkish rider on Lap 12, but a possible win would be a toll order considering the 3.6s gap to the leading duo.

Oncu retired at the final corner on Lap 14 after he attempted to catch up to the championship leader.

Out front the Brazilian still hadn’t made a move on Canet, but was experimenting to see where his weak points were, before Canet allowed Moreira through on the second to last lap.

However, Moreira was too strong and crossed the line 0.056s ahead when both riders crossed the line.

Championship leader Jose Antonio Rueda earned a fifth victory of the campaign by taking victory in the red-flagged Assen Moto3 race. 

Rueda led in the closing laps of the race before a red flag was thrown on the last lap due to a final corner incident, which saw the Spanish rider awarded victory despite crossing the line in third

It was a strong start from Alvaro Carpe, who managed to overtake team-mate Rueda in Turn 1 to take an early lead.

Ryusei Yamanaka also made a good start from the second row and passed the championship leader, before Rueda responded almost immediately.  

At the chicane, Rueda threaded his way passed team-mate Carpe to lead over the line to start the second lap of the race.  

David Almansa made his way up into second by passing Yamanaka and Carpe on the straight as the entire field remained bunched together. 

The Spanish riders continued to fight over second, but contact demoted both riders down the order, with Carpe forced wide, which saw him rejoin in 16th. 

Rueda continued to lead on lap three, as the riders behind continued to battle for position, with Maximo Quiles taking the initiative to move into second.  

Despite the earlier contact, Almansa continued to have strong pace and fought his way back into second as the group of 17 riders exchanged positions throughout the early laps. 

At the front, Rueda continued to lead despite pressure from behind, but the Spanish rider was unable to break away from the group behind. 

Quiles saw an opportunity to pass the long-time race leader on lap nine, and pulled an aggressive move to go first, with Yamanaka and Almansa also finding their way past Rueda. 

The Italian Grand Prix winner led for four laps, before a compromised exit from the final corner allowed Yamanaka the chance to take control at the front of the race momentarily. 

Quiles responded and retook the lead, bringing Almansa and Lunetta back into the podium positions. 

Almansa tried to force a move through for the lead of the race, but Quiles responded instantly to affirm his control at the front. 

The top two continued fighting, with the pair making contact and demoting themselves out of the podium positions, with Carpe returning to the front with four laps remaining.

Almansa momentarily returned to the lead, before the KTM Ajo pair of Carpe and Rueda found themselves returning to the head of the pack. 

With two laps to go, former race leaders Quiles and Almansa both dropped out of contention, as the Aspar rider crashed out of eighth before Almansa ran wide and down to 12th. 

Going onto the final lap, a massive crash between Taiyo Furusato, Luca Lunetta and Adrian Fernandez happened at the final corner bringing out a yellow flag. 

Replays showed that Carpe was forced to sit up through the final chicane, which saw Furusato run into the back of the Spaniard and start the chain of events. 

Rueda continued to lead throughout the final lap, but would have been pressured by the charging Valentin Perrone and David Munoz had the yellow flags not halted proceedings.

Munoz failed to see the yellow flags for the incident and overtook both Perrone and Rueda on the final lap, but the red flag was thrown as the riders crossed the line. 

The red flag meant that the results from Lap 19 counted as the final classification, with championship leader Rueda taking the victory. 

Munoz completed the race in second while Perrone earned his first-ever Moto3 podium in third.
