Mick Schumacher (P18): 5/10
It wasn't the best of weekends for Mick Schumacher, either. He was slower than Nikita Mazepin by three tenths in FP1 and slowest of all in final practice. Then there was his now-regular falling-out with his Haas team mate, when Mazepin fumed that Schumacher had broken a team agreement not to pass on an outlap. Schumacher insisted that he'd been given the go-ahead by the team, but the jockeying for position led to a messy incident with Lando Norris and Sebastian Vettel. With tempers already flaring it was no surprise when Schumacher and Mazepin made contact on the opening lap of the race, forcing Mick to pit for repairs. That was the end of any chance he might have had on Sunday, not that he'd ever looked all that likely to be far from the back of the order. It's hard to see this sort of level of unbridled animosity between drivers being allowed to continue for much longer, although rumour has it that Guenther Steiner is still set to confirm both men for 2022. A glutton for punishment, presumably?
George Russell (P17, Retired): 7.5/10
After two fantastic weekends for George Russell - his maiden points for Williams in Hungary, followed by his first Formula 1 podium in Spa-Francorchamps albeit in the oddest circumstances imaginable - it was down to earth with a bit of a bump in Zandvoort. His Friday programme left him slowest in FP1, and while he bounced back in the afternoon he was still two tenths slower than Nicholas Latifi. Both men still made it through to the second round of qualifying but then came that terrible five minutes at the end of Q2 when both pushed too hard and crashed out. Russell was still able to start the race from 11th and maintained the spot through to the pit stops. Sergio Perez' recovery after starting from the pit lane dropped Russell to 12th after the pit stops and points never seemed on the agenda, but it was still sad to have to park the car with a gearbox issue before the chequered flag leaving him classified in 17th.
