The Race F1 Podcast · Dutch GP: Who hit a new driver rankings low in Zandvoort? · 25 Aug 2026 podcast

He bowed out with a last place in Abu Dhabi last season, so a bad finish for Sonoda. voice-verified

But he returned with a solid mid grid twelfth place at Zanvoort. voice-verified

Jamie Stark, who describes himself as a longtime Yuki defender, wants to know whether Sonoda should have been considerably higher. voice-verified

Considering the learning curve with the new power units, only one free practice session on a sprint weekend, and how close in pace he was to Arvid Lindblad. voice-verified

think as we said voice-verified

I said before, mistakes count quite heavily against drivers when you're doing the rankings. voice-verified

Obviously this was a stealth blunder as you mentioned, so how close did Sonoda come to absolutely careering into the wall and losing it all with that gravelly moment? voice-verified

Or was it one of those kind of easily survivable moments? voice-verified

I'd just like to ask you quickly about Sonoda's good friend Pierre Gasly. voice-verified

You mentioned him, because obviously his race was defined by uh the racing bulls drivers. voice-verified

You placed him inside the top four, and we had a couple of questions about Gasly making mistakes in this race and struggling to pass Lindblad, who obviously, to be fair, was trying to roadblock Gasly, as you mentioned. voice-verified

How how did he overcome these issues to rank so highly for voice-verified

This time. voice-verified

Uh surprisingly we had no specific questions about the other Red Bull stand in driver from this race, Liam Lawson, subbing obviously at Red Bull for the injured Isak Hadjar. voice-verified

You placed him third, which is his equal best ranking of the season so far, along with Monaco. voice-verified

So why did his performance stand out for you in the context of his full season? voice-verified

And why did he impress you so much more than Sonoda did? voice-verified

About Max Verstappen, Ed. voice-verified

This was his worst ranking ever, since we forced you to do rankings rather than driver ratings where you're allowed ties. voice-verified

It's his lowest since you put him 19th out of 20 for clattering needlessly into George Russell in Barcelona last season. voice-verified
