Norris' 2nd win ends Verstappen's dominant Dutch GP run
McLaren's Lando Norris won the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday by almost 23 seconds at the Circuit Zandvoort in the Netherlands.
Norris' victory prevented Dutchman and Red Bull star Max Verstappen from winning his fourth straight Dutch GP. The latter finished a distant second and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc placed third to round out the podium.
The 24-year-old Norris, who started from the pole position, secured his second win of the Formula 1 season. It marked the first time McLaren finished first in Zandvoort since Niki Lauda in 1985.
The 22.8-second margin of victory is the biggest gap between first and second during the 2024 season.
Meanwhile, Verstappen has now gone five races without a win. The three-time defending F1 champion and current leader in the drivers' standings is on his longest winless run since 2020.
McLaren moved to within 30 points of Red Bull in the constructors' championship, with Norris' teammate, Oscar Piastri, securing fourth place.
