Lando Norris drove his McLaren to victory in the final running of the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort.
Having started from pole position, the defending champion lost ground to Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli at the restart after the race was red-flagged due to home hero Max Verstappen ’s heavy crash.
The Briton managed to retake the lead midway through the race, eventually taking the checkered flag 11.536 seconds ahead of Antonelli for his second straight victory of the season.
George Russell, fresh off a sprint victory just a day before, rounded out the podium in third in the other Mercedes.
