Lando Norris wins Dutch Grand Prix after huge Max Verstappen crash

Lando Norris has secured victory in Sunday's Dutch Grand Prix to continue his mid-season resurgence in Formula 1.

After a frustrating opening 10 races of the season, the defending champion has now delivered back-to-back wins, the preceding triumph coming in Hungary.

The Briton converted pole into a race win by 11.536 seconds, with Championship leader Kimi Antonelli benefitting from a late virtual safety car on his way to sealing second.

Antonelli appeared to be suffering with his rear tyres until the VSC allowed him to pit, with Lewis Hamilton the driver to lose out.

With five laps to go, Hamilton still appeared favourite to overtake George Russell for the final podium spot, but his compatriot found a way to hold off that challenge.

Charles Leclerc, Oscar, Piastri, Liam Lawson, Nico Hulkenberg, Fernando Alonso and Pierre Gasly completed the top 10.

However, Max Verstappen saw his final home Grand Prix come to an abrupt end when he crashed out on the final corner of the first lap.

The four-time champion could not keep his car under control during a wet patch on the track, but came out of the heavy crash unscathed.
