F1 2024: Dutch Grand Prix Recap
Lando Norris may have had a poor start, but he more than made up for it as he won the Dutch Grand Prix by a 22-second margin over home hero Max Verstappen. After qualifying, polesitter Norris acknowledged his starts hadn’t quite been the best but stated he was “still up there with being one of the best average starters.”
Race Highlights
