Antonelli claims Mercedes lost F1 speed edge as Norris wins second straight race

Lando Norris secured his second consecutive Formula 1 victory on Saturday, converting a pole‑position start into a win at the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort. The McLaren driver led the field from the opening lap and maintained a commanding pace throughout the 72‑lap race, finishing ahead of his nearest rivals without significant challenge. Norris’s triumph follows his previous win at the British Grand Prix, marking the first back‑to‑back victories for the British driver since his debut season.

The victory lifts Norris to second place in the drivers’ championship, narrowing the gap to championship leader Max Verstappen, while McLaren gains valuable points in the constructors’ standings, moving closer to the top three. The team will look to build on the momentum heading into the upcoming summer events, with the next round scheduled for the Hungarian Grand Prix at the Hungaroring.
