Max Verstappen's performance at the Dutch Grand Prix has sparked debate, with Sky Sports F1 pundit Martin Brundle suggesting he deliberately slowed down to send a message to Red Bull, which Helmut Marko refuted, citing setup and tire wear issues. Verstappen admitted struggling with car balance and tire wear, leading him to back off towards the end of the race. Verstappen's father, Jos, has been criticized for adding pressure on the team amid their performance slump. Verstappen also proposed banning the broadcast of team radio conversations to mitigate online abuse directed at officials. Lando Norris won the race by a 22.9-second margin, challenging Red Bull's dominance as McLaren, Mercedes, and Ferrari improved their performances. Red Bull's lead in the Constructors' Championship has narrowed to 30 points after Norris's second win of the season.
