Lando Norris led from pole to win the final Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, taking his second consecutive victory of the 2026 season. He finished the 72-lap race 11.536 seconds ahead of Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli, with George Russell third and the Ferrari pair of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc next. Max Verstappen spun into the barriers at the final corner on the opening lap of his home race and retired without completing a lap; he was unhurt, and the scattered debris brought out a red flag and a standing restart. Antonelli leads the drivers' standings by 59 points.
