Lando Norris won Zandvoort's final Dutch Grand Prix with a pair of ruthless overtakes on Lap 54, sweeping past Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton in a single charge he calls "the move that won me the race." The McLaren driver started from pole but lost the lead to Antonelli after a red flag restart triggered by Max Verstappen's crash. Patient through multiple pit stops, Norris waited until Hamilton defended against Antonelli, then committed hard on the brakes and went around the outside into Turn 1. "I knew I had one chance to make it happen," he said. It's his second straight win after Hungary, vaulting him to fourth in the standings—24 points behind co-leaders Hamilton and Russell. McLaren's recent upgrade package has them on the field's strongest trajectory. Norris won't bite on championship talk—"one race at a time"—but two straight wins and a surging car make that sound less boring.
