F1STRATEGY: Will tyre degradation spice up the Dutch Grand Prix?Lando Norris will start the Dutch Grand Prix from pole position, with George Russell and Kimi Antonelli following closely behind. The race strategies are being influenced by the performance of the tyre compounds during the Sprint, where the Medium and Soft tyres showed competitive results.
