⚽ Norris takes the final Dutch GP win
So, quite a race. Verstappen goes into the wall on a damp track at the end of lap one — red flag, restart, chaos.
Antonelli leads after the restart, but Norris and McLaren play the strategy game perfectly across two stops, build a tyre offset, and then Norris passes both Antonelli and Hamilton in the same lap. Hamilton was actually running first at that point, just out of phase on his stops.
Late in the race Mercedes tell Russell to move over for Antonelli — he's not happy about it, Hamilton has a go at him from behind, but Russell holds on for third.
Alonso quietly comes home ninth on a one-stop strategy — first points for Aston Martin since Monaco. They're slowly getting there.
First race back after the summer break and it definitely didn't disappoint, per BBC Sport.
