Lando Norris was thrilled to bounce back from a tricky start to take his second F1 victory at the Dutch Grand Prix, with the McLaren driver hailing his car as “unbelievable” after crossing the line more than 20 seconds up the road from Max Verstappen.
After a slow launch when the lights went out, pole-sitter Norris lost out on the lead to Verstappen as the Red Bull surged ahead into Turn 1. However, the Briton started to close in as the laps ticked down before overtaking the reigning world champion on Lap 18 of 72.

From there Norris enjoyed a dominant drive to the chequered flag and, reflecting on how it felt to be a race winner again after stepping out of the car, the 24-year-old – who claimed his debut win in Miami back in May – answered: “It feels amazing once again.
“I wouldn’t say a perfect race because of Lap 1 again, but afterwards the pace was very strong, the car was unbelievable today. I could get comfortable, I could push and get past Max which was the main thing and just go from there. Honestly quite a straightforward race, still tough but very enjoyable.”
