Overview
- George Russell won the Zandvoort sprint to record his third sprint victory this season and carry momentum into qualifying for the main race.
- Charles Leclerc moved past Lando Norris with a late overtaking move to finish second while Norris held third.
- Kimi Antonelli finished fourth and increased his lead over Lewis Hamilton to 53 points while Russell reduced his deficit to Antonelli to 56 points.
- Nico Hülkenberg suffered a motor problem that dropped him to 21st after his team told him to stop the car and later rejoined with a 13-lap deficit.
- The dune layout produced few passing chances, a factor that helped decide finishing order, and the Sunday Grand Prix may be Zandvoort's last appearance on the calendar for the foreseeable future.
