Lando Norris achieved a significant victory at the Dutch Grand Prix, marking his second career win with a remarkable 20-second lead over Max Verstappen. Despite a shaky start where he lost pole position, Norris regained control by lap 18 and showcased the effectiveness of McLaren's recent upgrades. McLaren's CEO, Zak Brown, acknowledged the need for caution despite their performance advantage, especially with upcoming races like Monza, which could favor Verstappen's Red Bull. Team Principal Andrea Stella praised Norris's flawless execution and expressed disappointment for teammate Oscar Piastri, who struggled with traffic and missed a podium finish. Norris's win has narrowed the points gap to Verstappen in the championship, while McLaren is closing in on Red Bull in the constructors' standings. The team's consistent improvements have been a highlight of their season, further raising expectations for future races.
