F1 Dutch GP: Lando Norris beats Kimi Antonelli from pole as Max Verstappen crashes out

Lando Norris won the Dutch Grand Prix, crossing the line 11.5 seconds ahead of Kimi Antonelli. The McLaren driver started from pole, which he secured by beating George Russell in the sprint. Norris's victory was a strategic one, as he built a tyre offset to pass Antonelli after two pit stops.

The race was marked by chaos on the first lap, as Max Verstappen crashed out at high speed on a damp track, causing a red flag. Verstappen, who had started seventh, got out of the car unassisted and reported that he was okay. According to Channel News Asia, his car went into the concrete wall on the outside of a banked corner before skidding back across the track, scattering debris.

The podium was completed by George Russell, who held off Lewis Hamilton despite team orders controversy at Mercedes. Antonelli's Mercedes team-mate had been ordered to let him past into second place, but Russell managed to keep Hamilton at bay. Fernando Alonso earned Aston Martin-Honda their first points since Monaco with a ninth-place finish.
