2026 Dutch GP Driver Ratings: Norris' Win, Antonelli's Tyre Woes
TO NEWS OVERVIEW
Norris prevailed over Antonelli to win the F1 Dutch GP

Lando Norris emerged victorious at the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort, defeating championship leader Andrea Kimi Antonelli for his second consecutive win of the season. The race was filled with drama, featuring a fierce battle between the two frontrunners, with Norris ultimately prevailing after a challenging start.

Starting from pole, Norris briefly lost the lead during the restart following a red flag caused by Max Verstappen's crash. However, McLaren's clever strategy to extend his final stint proved successful. Antonelli, who had been leading, struggled with tire degradation in the closing laps, allowing Norris to overtake and finish 11 seconds ahead.

Meanwhile, Norris's teammate Oscar Piastri had to settle for sixth place after a slow pit stop and aggressive moves from Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton put in a solid performance to finish third, showcasing Mercedes' consistency on a track that demands tire management.
