In the constructors’ standings, leaders McLaren are ahead of Ferrari by 299 points, while Mercedes in third are only 24 points behind the Italian team in the race for second.
Sunday’s grand prix starts at 14:00 BST.

What is the Zandvoort weather forecast?

There is a chance that the first race back after the summer shutdown will be a wet one, with forecasts predicting rain at points across the weekend.
The rain largely managed to stay away in Friday’s practice, but did fall lightly at points throughout the day.
On Saturday, there’s a 36% chance of rain during the final practice session, but qualifying is predicted to take place in dry conditions.
For Sunday’s 72-lap race, more light rain is predicted for the morning, although is likely to have subsided by lights out. A moderate breeze and a high of 19C is also forecast.
