The Dutch Grand Prix treated fans to another spectacle around the sand dunes of Zandvoort. While several drivers would be pleased with their outing, others, including Lando Norris, witnessed their race end in heartbreak.
The Dutch race, which appeared to be a showdown between the McLaren drivers, saw both drivers running in first and second place for much of the race until Lando Norris suffered an engine failure with about 15 laps remaining.

However, the positive spotlight was on Isack Hadjar, who finished on the podium with a brilliant drive. Home hero Max Verstappen also secured second place during the race
