Lando Norris described his victory at the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix as “one of the best” of his Formula 1 career after fighting back from an early setback to claim his second win of the season.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite starting on pole position, the McLaren driver lost the lead to Andrea Kimi Antonelli during the standing restart following a Lap 1 red flag. However, Norris managed his tires effectively, closing down a five-second deficit to Antonelli’s struggling Mercedes in the final stint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A tough race. Yesterday I said I needed to put on a show in this last race here. Today I made things difficult for myself, but it was a great race and a great battle. Probably one of my best victories\u2014we really had to fight for it,” Norris explained after the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The move was good! I knew I wouldn’t have many opportunities, and with every lap behind them, the chances were fading,” Norris revealed. “I made a few adjustments to the brake balance, trusted the car on the brakes, and that move gave me the victory. It was just very well executed. I knew I had to make it stick.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victory marks a memorable farewell for Norris at Circuit Zandvoort as the track departs the calendar following the 2026 event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
