NORRIS PASSES ANTONELLI FOR SECOND WIN IN A ROW AT ZANDVOORT

Lando Norris turned a chaotic Dutch Grand Prix into his second consecutive victory, surviving a red flag restart and a late strategic scramble. Max Verstappen's championship defense took a brutal hit when he crashed heavily at the final corner on lap one, spinning on damp track and slamming the barrier. He walked away; his title hopes took the damage.

Antonelli jumped Norris at the restart and led until Norris's superior pace on hards paid off in the third stint. Norris picked off both Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton in one brilliant sequence at Tarzan, then held a 10-second gap when a VSC for Esteban Ocon's stricken Haas triggered late pit stops. Antonelli and Hamilton bolted on softs and hunted Norris on old hards. Didn't matter.

Mercedes ordered Russell aside for Antonelli's second place. Hamilton finished fourth ahead of teammate Leclerc after a Williams pileup caused another yellow. Lawson salvaged seventh for Red Bull despite a penalty.

Norris has momentum. Verstappen doesn't.
