F1 Netherlands, Race Report
Zandvoort is once again coloured orange. Yes, but this time it is the McLaren’s Papaya. Landing Norris in fact he wins the second Grand Prix of his career, beating Max Verstappen at home, and tries to reopen a World Championship that seemed to be closed with a double lock until a few weeks ago.
The #4 is stronger than his very human fears and weaknesses, which also manifest themselves at the start of the Dutch Grand Prix, when he skids at the start and lets the world champion pass him. It seems like another melancholic Sunday for the McLaren driver, who instead slowly cooks the Dutchman at home, overtaking him in a Tarzan way before the only stop and then managing until the 72nd lap, when he also finds the fastest lap. The pace of the MCL38 is great: it seems like an orange Red Bull against a Red Bull – the real one – that clings to the usual Verstappen to save what can be saved. Super Max, second at 20″, limits the damage and maintains a margin of 70 points in the drivers’ championship.
Since free practice it was clear that the Grand Prix was a two-way affair between Norris and Verstappen, with Oscar Piastri playing the role of spoilsport. However, the Australian lost precious time behind George Russell and Charles Leclerc and finished in fourth place behind a monumental Leclerc. For Ferrari, which by nature and history must always aim for the top, the third position of the Monegasque was practically a victory: the #16 punctured Sergio Perez at the start and mocked him with a undercut the Russell-Piastri duo, then defending themselves like masters in the second part of the race from the attacks of the Piastri driver.
