Norris wins incident-packed Dutch Grand Prix as Russell loses ground again

McLaren’s Lando Norris passed Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton in the space of a single lap before holding on to win the Dutch Grand Prix for back-to-back Formula One victories. Norris started on pole but was overtaken by Antonelli at a restart after the race was stopped for a heavy crash by hometown driver Max Verstappen, who was unhurt, during the second lap. Norris reeled in Antonelli before passing him around the outside of the first corner in a daring move on lap 54 of 72, then took the lead from Ferrari’s Hamilton before the lap was over. The defending champion held on with old tyres to take the win. “This fight is still on,” he said over team radio. “The move [to pass Antonelli] was good. I knew I was not going to get many chances. Every lap I spent behind him my chances got lower and lower,” Norris said. “Well played from my part...I probably had one chance.”
