Norris Claims Third Consecutive Dutch GP Victory as Antonelli Extends Championship Lead

Lando Norris took his third straight win at Zandvoort after a restart caused by Max Verstappen's opening‑lap crash. Starting from pole, Norris retook the lead from Kimi Antonelli at the restart and held it to the finish, giving McLaren a second consecutive victory. Antonelli finished second, extending his championship advantage to 59 points over George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, who were tied at 183. Russell, who had won the sprint, obeyed team orders to let Antonelli pass on fresher tyres and then held Hamilton for third. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was fifth, Oscar Piastri sixth, and Liam Lawson seventh for Red Bull. The result further cements Antonelli’s lead and underscores the role of tyre strategy and team directives in the title fight.
