Norris wins Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort as McLaren secures third straight victory

Lando Norris won the Formula One Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, Netherlands, on August 23, 2026, giving McLaren its third successive victory at the event. The race was restarted after home hero Max Verstappen crashed on the opening lap.

The victory was the second consecutive win for reigning world champion Norris. He began the weekend on pole position but lost the lead to Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli at the restart and had to fight back; Norris had previously won in Hungary last month.

Mercedes' championship leader Kimi Antonelli finished second. His teammate George Russell was instructed to allow Antonelli through late in the race, and Russell then held off Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton to take third.
