Race report
Lando Norris at the Dutch Grand Prix
Lando Norris at the Dutch Grand Prix

Lando Norris bounced back from another poor start to dominate the F1 Dutch Grand Prix ahead of Max Verstappen.

Starting from pole position, Norris lost the lead into Turn 1 to Verstappen.

It means Norris has lost the lead every single time he’s started from pole position - six times in his career.

However, it didn’t deter Norris, who recovered to take a comfortable victory at Zandvoort.

Rest of the top 10

Piastri crosses the line fourth ahead of Sainz, Perez and the Mercedes duo of Russell and Hamilton in seventh and eighth. 

Gasly and Alonso take the final points on offer for Alpine and Aston Martin in ninth and 10th. 

15:34
NORRIS WINS 2024 DUTCH GP

Norris takes the chequered flag to win the Dutch Grand Prix!

What a drive from the McLaren driver, who claims a statement victory, some 22 seconds clear of Verstappen. 

Leclerc keeps Piastri at bay to complete the podium in third for Ferrari. 

15:32
Penultimate lap

We are onto the penultimate lap and Norris is well on his way to the win here.

15:25
Norris in complete control

Lap 65 of 72: Norris is in complete control and cruising towards victory. 

The McLaren driver continues to extend his lead over Verstappen, which currently stands at 18 seconds. 

It's looking very good for the Briton as he edges ever closer to his second win of the season - and the second victory of his grand prix career.

15:20
Piastri catching Leclerc

Lap 60 of 72: Piastri has just started to close in on Leclerc again. The gap is hovering at around the one-second mark. 

Could we have a late scrap for the final podium position? 

15:14
Russell also stops again

Lap 56 of 72: Mercedes have stopped Russell for a second time, mirroring teammate Hamilton's switch onto soft tyres. 

He's sacrificed track position to Sainz (who was catching him quickly anyway) and Perez.

Mercedes are clearly confident Russell can make up the 17-second gap to Perez and pass the Red Bull driver. 

15:10
Hamilton does get the fastest lap

Lap 52 of 72: Hamilton does indeed set the fastest lap of the race with a 1m13.883s. He is on course for an extra point as things stand. 

It is incredibly unlikely he will catch Perez, who is 23 seconds up the road from the Mercedes driver. 

15:06
Hamilton pits for softs

Lap 49 of 72: Hamilton makes his second pit stop of the day and switches onto soft tyres. 

He may as well gamble given he had a free stop with Hulkenberg a huge distance behind. So he retains eighth place. 

This could be a chance for Hamilton to pick up an extra point if he can set the fastest lap. 

15:03
Third time lucky for Sainz

Lap 47 of 72: After two failed attempts on the previous two laps, Sainz finally gets the better of Perez under braking into Turn 1 to snatch P6 from the Red Bull driver. 

15:01
Verstappen's tyre woes continue

Lap 45 of 72: Verstappen has been back on the radio complaining about his tyres. 

"Left-hand side tyres again. There's no grip," the Red Bull driver reports. 

He continues to lose time to Norris and is now nearly 12 seconds adrift of his main rival. 

14:56
Penalty for Stroll

Lap 41 of 72: Stroll has picked up a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane. 

Replays show the Aston Martin driver failed to slow his car sufficiently as he braked at the pit lane entry. 

That's a real blow to Stroll's hopes of a points finish today.

14:54
Flying Piastri passes Russell

Lap 40 of 72: Piastri is absolutely flying as he makes the most of his fresh rubber to overtake Russell for fourth place. 

14:50
Solid stop for Piastri
14:47
Order after pit stops

Lap 34 of 72: Norris is back in the lead after Piastri finally makes his pit stop after 33 laps. 

Verstappen is seven seconds behind Norris, with Leclerc in third ahead of Russell, Piastri, Perez, Sainz and Hamilton. 

The two Haas cars of Hulkenberg and Magnussen round out the current top 10, though Hulkenberg is yet to stop. 

14:39
McLaren react by pitting Norris

Lap 28 of 72: McLaren call in Norris next time around to cover off Verstappen's stop. 

Norris comes back out around five seconds ahead of Verstappen in fourth. 

14:38
Verstappen next to pit!

Lap 27 of 72: Verstappen pits from second. 

He takes on hard tyres and returns out in fifth place and nearly 30 seconds behind Norris. 

14:36
Russell first front runner to pit

Lap 25 of 72: Russell pits from third as the first of the leading runners to make a stio. 

Russell comes back out in ninth, but he is behind Leclerc, who stopped on the previous lap. 

Norris, meanwhile, continues to gap Verstappen. His lead stands at 5.5 seconds as Verstappen continues to complain about his car. 

14:34
Hamilton pits

Hamilton has pitted to get rid of his soft tyres after his pace started to drop following a failed overtaking attempt on Gasly. 

He's switched onto hards and rejoins down in 16th. 

14:32
Norris pulls clear

Lap 22: After initially struggling to break the DRS threat from Verstappen, Norris has now built himself a nice little three-second buffer over the Dutchman. 

14:26
NORRIS TAKES THE LEAD!

Lap 18: WOW! 

Norris suddenly catches Verstappen, who is struggling with his tyres, and overtakes the world champion on the main straight. 

The McLaren driver is back in the lead of the Dutch Grand Prix!
