F1 correspondent Andrew Benson answers your questions as the Formula 1 season prepares to resume with this weekend's Dutch Grand Prix.
The Formula 1 season resumes with this weekend's Dutch Grand Prix, the first of 10 races that remain in this year's calendar.Assuming Max Verstappen’s current lead is unassailable, who is likely to end up as best of the rest – Lando Norris, Charles Leclerc, Oscar Piastri, Carlos Sainz or Lewis Hamilton? - Richard

Why is F1 trending towards street circuits? Liberty Media, the commercial rights holders, tends to want new races to be ‘destination events’ close to major population centres. The current rules dictate that grands prix run to a maximum distance of 305km and for not longer than two hours. Typically, the engineers will decide the possible strategies and then this will be discussed with the drivers. They do have an input, but the decision is made collectively.
There are plenty of other examples of this. You often hear Carlos Sainz making strategy choices at Ferrari.
