Out of the top 10 since Barcelona
Everything is ready also at Haas for the Dutch Grand Prix, the first after the summer break of this season. An event that could provide interesting answers to the American team, coming off a negative streak of results; after a good start to the championship, in fact, the team has not scored any points in the last five GPs, from Barcelona to the Hungaroring. In this way, the Constructors’ standings see Haas in seventh position, but only 9 points ahead of Audi, which on the contrary has been improving in recent races.

The possible advantages of the break
The almost one-month stop could therefore provide a good opportunity for Oliver Bearman to recover, with the British driver even absent from the top 10 since the Monaco GP: “We came back and the break was really necessary both for the team and for me – he said – it was fantastic to spend time with family and friends, put the phone on “do not disturb” mode and have some free time to dedicate to my other hobbies! The goal for the second half of the season is to give our best and make sure we work cohesively to get the best possible result. I love Zandvoort and it’s a shame this is its last year on the Formula 1 calendar: the atmosphere is unmatched, the orange army is complete and the track is really unique. I can’t wait to get back to racing.”

Ocon even more in difficulty
Precisely in the Principality, the team achieved its last points finish with Esteban Ocon, who unlike his teammate is still having a rather disappointing season. While the British driver is currently in 13th position, the Frenchman is only 17th, with a 15-point gap: “It was great to relax during the summer break with friends and family. It was important for everyone to have the opportunity to recharge their energy ahead of what promises to be a very intense second half of the season. We are ready to get back on track and see what we can achieve. Zandvoort is a fantastic circuit to kick off the second part of the year. The fans always create an incredible atmosphere and the track is fun to drive. We faced some difficulties in the first half of the season, so we will try to consolidate the consistency shown in Hungary. Since it is a Sprint weekend, we will have to make the most of every session and get the best out of the package from the start.”
