What happened

George Russell won Saturday's sprint lights to flag, ahead of Charles Leclerc and Norris. On Sunday, Norris started from pole, but a first-lap crash at the final corner involving Max Verstappen and Gabriel Bortoleto brought out the red flag. Antonelli took the lead from Norris at the standing restart.

Antonelli led for much of the afternoon until Norris passed both him and Lewis Hamilton in one move on Lap 54. Russell recovered from ninth after his Lap 17 stop to finish third, and Hamilton held off Leclerc on the final lap for fourth.

Why it matters

Russell and Hamilton tied for second

A sprint win and a podium put Russell level with Hamilton on 183 points, 59 behind Antonelli.

Norris is the form driver

Back-to-back wins either side of the summer break moved him to fourth in the standings.

A goodbye to Zandvoort

This was the final Dutch Grand Prix, with the organizers ending the race after 2026.
