Piastri Extends F1 Lead With Dutch GP Win After Norris’s Late Retirement

McLaren begins a failure review before Monza to clarify the smoke issue that ended Norris’s race.

Overview

  • Starting from pole, Oscar Piastri controlled three Safety Car restarts to win at Zandvoort and move 34 points clear with nine races left.
  • Max Verstappen finished second at home and Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar secured his first Formula 1 podium in third.
  • Lando Norris reported smoke and an oil smell before stopping on lap 65, with McLaren saying it will not speculate on whether the issue was chassis- or power unit‑related.
  • McLaren were tracking toward a record‑equalling fifth straight one‑two before Norris’s DNF, while Ferrari endured a double exit after Lewis Hamilton crashed and Charles Leclerc was spun out by Kimi Antonelli, who received time penalties.
  • Post-race stewarding will affect Monza, with reports confirming Hamilton has a five-place grid drop for failing to slow under double waved yellows.
