The McLaren driver stayed poised despite another struggle off the line to claim the first win out of the summer break—and crucial points in the championship battles.
Formula One’s return from the summer break did not disappoint at the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday as Lando Norris rallied from a poor start to beat Max Verstappen and spoil the Red Bull driver’s homecoming.
Norris did still lose the starting advantage that he earned Saturday, making it the sixth time this season that he did not lead at the end of the opening lap after starting on pole. However, he didn’t panic and comfortably worked his way back up to Verstappen, eventually passing him on Lap 18 and quickly racing out of DRS range.
Even still, Verstappen managed his race well, cruising to a runner-up finish with Norris in a league of his own. Should the 26-year-old continue to rattle off podiums down the final stretch of the season, Verstappen will still be right in the mix for a fourth straight title thanks to the cushion he built earlier in the year.However, the Red Bull team will again find itself wishing it had gotten more from Verstappen’s teammate Sergio Perez.
Logan Sargeant, in the latest disaster for the soon-to-be departing driver, obliterated his car with a crash in the last practice session. The damage was so great that the 23-year-old American was unable to run in qualifying at all before plodding around the track to finish 16th on Sunday.
