Lando Norris overcame an early race lead for Max Verstappen to win the 2024 Dutch Grand Prix.
Here are the complete results from a tense 2024 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, which saw Lando Norris start from pole position.
Lando Norris recovered from losing the lead on the opening lap of the Dutch GP to overtake and dominate Max Verstappen at Zandvoort.

Off the starting lights, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen took the lead away from polesitter Lando Norris as the McLaren driver didn’t quite hook up his getaway from his grid slot.
Verstappen briefly pulled away from his championship rival, opening up a lead of almost two seconds before Norris started to claw back in the Red Bull.
It quickly became apparent that McLaren was much happier around the whole lap as Norris quickly reeled in Verstappen as the reigning World Champion began to complain about a numb feeling from his tyres.
Latching on in the DRS zone, Norris sailed past Verstappen into Turn 1 with little fightback from the championship leader and proceeded to stamp his authority all over the race.
Pulling away for the rest of the opening stint on the mediums, Norris’ lead only continued to pull away during the second stint – on hard tyres – to open up an advantage of almost 20 seconds as the race entered the closing stages.
Norris duly crossed the line to win with almost a full pitstop in hand over Verstappen, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc winning the battle for best of the rest as he came home third just five seconds behind the Red Bull after a successful undercut during the stops to move up past Russell.
Oscar Piastri, who had lost a position off the line to Russell, ran a much longer first stint than the top three, and, while he caught back up on Leclerc to spend the closing stages looking at the back of the Ferrari, never mounted a proper challenge to claim the final podium spot.
Fifth place went to Carlos Sainz as the Spaniard put in a stellar recovery drive after starting outside the top 10 due to his qualifying struggles, with Sergio Perez sixth for Red Bull.
George Russell and Lewis Hamilton claimed seventh and eighth for Mercedes, with Hamilton picking his way forward after his poor qualifying and three-place grid drop from Saturday.
Pierre Gasly was ninth for Alpine, having produced some daring overtakes around the outside of Turn 1, while Fernando Alonso claimed the last point with 10th for Aston Martin.
There were no retirements in what was quite a stagnant race in terms of action, with no yellow flags or incidents throughout the 72-lap distance.
