Norris Wins Dutch GP After Verstappen Crash

Lando Norris claimed victory in the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, beating Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli into second after the Italian had led most of the race.

The McLaren driver put in a superb drive to retake the lead in a thrilling late-race battle with Antonelli, while George Russell completed the podium for Mercedes. The race was marked by a major crash on the opening lap when home favorite Max Verstappen hit the wall, resulting in a 40-minute stoppage to clear debris from the Red Bull car. mwafrika.life
