Lando Norris recovered from giving up the lead at the start of the Dutch Grand Prix to comfortably beat Max Verstappen to victory in Zandvoort.
McLaren's Norris continued his run of poor starts as he failed to keep the lead on a sixth successive occasion from the front of the Formula 1 grid, but passed Red Bull's Verstappen at the start of lap 18 before romping home to win by 22 seconds. The result sees Norris, who claimed an extra point for setting the fastest lap, reduce Verstappen's lead at the top of the Drivers' Championship to 70 points with nine rounds of the 2024 season remaining.
He seemed to keep dropping off and my pace was getting better. 'I could get comfortable and push.' The Brit was quickly through to the lead with Verstappen powerless to resist as Norris used DRS to pass on the home straight at the start of lap 18. It took Norris a couple of laps to break clear, but once he did the result never appeared in doubt as he rapidly pulled away to the disappointment of the passionate home crowd.
