Piastri Wins Zandvoort to Extend Lead as Ferrari Suffer Double DNF

Post-race penalties, including a Hamilton grid drop, now define the build-up to Monza.

Overview

  • Oscar Piastri converted pole into victory for his ninth career win, opening a 34‑point cushion over teammate Lando Norris.
  • Lando Norris retired in the closing laps with a technical problem, ending a likely McLaren one‑two and prompting checks on the power unit.
  • Max Verstappen finished second at home, with rookie Isack Hadjar earning his first Formula 1 podium in third for Racing Bulls.
  • Ferrari scored no points after Lewis Hamilton crashed at Turn 3 on lap 23 and Charles Leclerc was eliminated by Andrea Kimi Antonelli’s unsuccessful inside move late in the race, with Safety Car timing nullifying Leclerc’s undercut.
  • Stewards gave Antonelli a 10‑second penalty for causing the collision plus five seconds for pit‑lane speeding, and issued Hamilton a five‑place grid drop for Monza for insufficient deceleration under double yellow flags.
