Change in drivers’ positions following the Dutch GP

Well, the biggest change is obviously at the very top; Max Verstappen has retaken the lead from Lewis Hamilton after trailing for a handful of race weekends. The gap, though, is very marginal, with the post-Dutch GP showcasing a 3-point lead for the Dutchman.

Similarly, Bottas regained his P3 from Lando Norris, who held onto that position with help of impeccable consistency. Unfortunately, the fact that the Briton failed to score over the third consecutive race weekend has aided Bottas to claim the spot behind his teammate.
