Lando Norris believes his McLaren car is now leading the Formula One field after the British driver scored a dominant victory at the Dutch Grand Prix. His opinion was supported by the world champion, Max Verstappen, who was well beaten into second and observed that his Red Bull’s lack of performance was an “alarming” development.
Norris won in Zandvoort despite having been beaten off the line by Verstappen. The 24-year-old bided his time before exploiting the fearsome pace of the McLaren to sweep past the world champion and then extend his lead with ease until taking the flag by almost 23 seconds from the Dutchman.
