Lando Norris passed Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton in the space of a single lap before holding on to win the Dutch Grand Prix for back-to-back Formula 1 wins on Sunday.
Norris started on pole but was overtaken by Antonelli at a restart after the race was stopped for a heavy crash by home hero Max Verstappen, who was unhurt, shortly after the start.
McLaren's Norris reeled in Antonelli before passing him around the outside of the first corner in a daring move on lap 54 of 72, then took the lead from Hamilton before the lap was over.
The defending champion held on with old tires to take the win. “This fight is still on," he said over team radio.
Antonelli was second after his Mercedes teammate George Russell was ordered to move out of his way, following a failed gamble on a tire change by Antonelli. Russell clung on to finish third ahead of Hamilton.
