Piastri Wins Dutch GP as Norris Retires Late, Stretching F1 Lead to 34 Points

McLaren has opened an inquiry into the smoke-filled stoppage ahead of Monza with nine races to run.

Overview

  • Starting from pole, Oscar Piastri managed three Safety Car restarts to control the race and win at Zandvoort.
  • Lando Norris pulled over from second place after reporting oil smoke in the cockpit, handing his teammate a larger points cushion.
  • Team principal Andrea Stella said investigators have not yet determined whether the failure was chassis-related or tied to the Mercedes power unit.
  • Max Verstappen finished second at his home Grand Prix as Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar earned his first Formula 1 podium in third.
  • Three Safety Cars reshaped strategy after Lewis Hamilton crashed in light rain and Charles Leclerc was spun into the barriers by Kimi Antonelli, who received a time penalty.
