Formula 1 is back in the Netherlands for this weekend's Dutch Grand Prix as summer break ends and the final 10 races arrive, but what weather will the teams and drivers face at Zandvoort?

Rain has affected both of the last two runnings at the seaside resort venue: Max Verstappen expertly defied a start-of-the-race deluge to emerge victorious in front of his home crowd while the first two days of last year's event saw the weather play its part.

It looks as though that may well be the case again this year if the forecast from F1.com is anything to go by, with all three days set to be hit by rainfall.

That could help level the playing field for McLaren's rivals and especially Verstappen who has carved out a reputation as F1's current rainmaster. The Papaya squad did look imperious during the wet British Grand Prix in July, however.

Will Lando Norris come out on top here for a second year in a row? Let's see what the weather will be like as he tries to claw further ground back on teammate Oscar Piastri in the drivers' standings.
