DRIVERS 1 – Lando NORRIS (McLaren) 2 – Kimi ANTONELLI (Mercedes) 3 – George RUSSELL (Mercedes) TRACK INTERVIEWS (Conducted by Jolyon Palmer) Q: Lando, so it’s the last race here in Zandvoort. They’ve all been won from pole, but my word, you really had to work for that one. What a job. Lando NORRIS: Yeah, amazing. A tough race. I think yesterday I said, “Need to put on a bit of a show for everyone for the final race here,” so, yeah, I made it tough for myself today. But a good race, well fought.

Lando Norris claimed his second consecutive victory of the 2026 FIA Formula 1 season with a composed drive at the Dutch Grand Prix, overcoming changing conditions, an early red flag and late strategic pressure to win at Zandvoort ahead of Kimi Antonelli and George Russell. The race began amid uncertainty after rain in the build-up, although the track had dried sufficiently for the majority of the field to start on slick tyres.

The FIA European Historic Rally Championship's Gravel Championship produced another spectacular weekend of competition as the Lahti Historic Rally delivered two days of flat-out action across Finland's world-famous gravel roads.

Lando Norris claimed pole position for the 2026 FIA Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix, beating George Russell by 0.102 seconds in a tense conclusion to Qualifying at Zandvoort. With rain approaching the seaside circuit during Q3, the McLaren driver improved on his final lap to post a time of 1m11.163s. Sprint winner Russell also found time on his last attempt but fell short with a 1m11.265s, while Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli completed the top three.

DRIVERS 1 – Lando NORRIS (McLaren) 2 – George RUSSELL (Mercedes) 3 – Kimi ANTONELLI (Mercedes) PARC FERMÉ INTERVIEWS (Conducted by Giedo van der Garde) Q: Lando, you are on pole position for the Heineken Dutch Grand Prix. You must feel happy about that? Lando NORRIS: Yeah, it doesn’t get any better. A little surprised, honestly, but just a decent lap. I was pushing because you’ve seen how close it is, so every one-hundredth, two-hundredths can make a big difference in the end.

George Russell converted pole position into a commanding Sprint victory at Zandvoort, leading all 24 laps to take his third Saturday win of the 2026 FIA Formula One season. The Mercedes driver made a clean start to retain the lead from Lando Norris, before managing the race from the front and eventually taking the chequered flag 1.360 seconds clear of Charles Leclerc. Norris completed the podium for McLaren after resisting late pressure from championship leader Kimi Antonelli.
