Dutch GP mailbag: Is McLaren F1’s fastest team? Are Alonso and Aston Martin back?

Formula 1 returned from its four-week summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, which is being dropped from the calendar after this year. Lando Norris won the race for McLaren, his second consecutive victory, ahead of Kimi Antonelli, who retains the lead in the world championship standings. Post-race, Mercedes drivers and team principal Toto Wolff acknowledged McLaren as currently having the fastest car, raising questions about Mercedes' ability to compete on development due to financial constraints.
