Norris 'over the moon' after stunning victory at chaotic Dutch GP

Following a race restart after Max Verstappen's heartbreak Lap 1 crash, the McLaren pole-sitter was overtaken by championship leader Kimi Antonelli early on in the race, but later retook the lead of with a stunning Turn 1 move on the young Italian behind a yet to pit Lewis Hamilton on Lap 54.

A late VSC threatened to turn the grid upside down, with Mercedes' George Russell ordered to let his championship rival Antonelli through on fresher soft tyres and after Norris. The papaya driver held on, however, to take his second win in a row - following a maiden 2026 win at Budapest before the summer break.

Speaking immediately after the race, Norris said: "A tough race. Yesterday I said I need to put on a bit of a show for the last race here.

Addressing that stunning move on Antonelli, the 26-year-old said he knew he probably had one shot at it, taking it with aplomb. Norris said: "The move was good! I knew I wasn't going to get many chances. Every lap I spent behind them, my odds were getting lower.

Speaking on the prospect of a proper title fight, Norris was eager to temper expectations. "It sounds boring, but one race at a time," he said.
