Zandvoort's last Formula 1 race turned on a couple of clicks of brake balance. Lando Norris went around the outside of Kimi Antonelli at Turn 1 on lap 54 of 72, passed Lewis Hamilton on the same lap, and won by 11.536s. Antonelli finished second and George Russell third, so the leader leaves the circuit 59 points clear with Russell and Hamilton level behind him on 183.

Max Verstappen's last home race ended on the opening lap with no laps completed, three days after re-signing to the end of 2030. At Virginia International Raceway, Pfaff's Lamborghini Temerario won a second race in two starts. And Netflix has confirmed a ninth Drive to Survive, built around a season F1 bills on its youngest ever title leader.

Paddock Notes
“I did a couple of clicks on my brake balance. I knew I was going to commit to the braking and that move won me the race.”
