Formula One’s return from the summer break did not disappoint at the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday as Lando Norris rallied from a poor start to beat Max Verstappen and spoil the Red Bull driver’s homecoming.
Norris, who outqualified the field by more than three-tenths of a second Saturday, came off the line slowly to begin Sunday’s race, allowing Verstappen to take the lead on the opening turn. However, the McLaren driver stayed calm, trusting in his noticeably superior car, and passed his rival on Lap 18. He never looked back, winning by more than 22 seconds over Verstappen. Charles Leclerc, climbing up from sixth, finished in third for a second straight race to round out the podium.
