Dutch Grand Prix 2026
Circuit Zandvoort · 2026-08-23 · Round 12 of 2026 · Sprint weekend
Lando Norris converted pole position into his second victory of 2026 in a dramatic final Dutch Grand Prix, run on a circuit still damp from pre-race rain. The race was red-flagged at the end of the opening lap when Max Verstappen lost control at the banked final corner and crashed heavily out of his home race. At the restart Norris controlled proceedings to beat Kimi Antonelli by 11.5 seconds, with George Russell — winner of Saturday's sprint — completing the podium ahead of the Ferraris of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, who set the fastest lap. Liam Lawson, standing in for the injured Isack Hadjar at Red Bull, took seventh despite a ten-second penalty, while Yuki Tsunoda made his return to F1 racing at Racing Bulls in eleventh. Antonelli's second place, added to his sprint points, moved him to 242 points at the head of the championship as Mercedes stretched their constructors' lead to 425.
