    Lando Norris Wins as Verstappen Crashes Out: Netherlands Grand Prix 2026 Analysis & Antonelli Charge

    Max Verstappen's home race lasted just one lap: but the drama at Zandvoort was only beginning. In this episode of Formula 1 News Hour, Jonathan Steel breaks down the 2026 Netherlands Grand Prix, where Lando Norris came through a chaotic afternoon to take victory ahead of Kimi Antonelli and George Russell. Jonathan reacts to Max Verstappen's opening-lap crash after losing grip on the damp circuit, the lengthy red-flag interruption that followed, and Kimi Antonelli's impressive restart that briefly put the young Mercedes driver into the lead. As the race develops, Jonathan follows the battle between Antonelli and Norris, McLaren's pace, changing tire strategies, and a late virtual safety car that gave Antonelli a fresh set of soft tires and another opportunity to fight back toward the front. Antonelli's charge culminates in a dramatic late pass on teammate George Russell to secure second place.
