Inside the cockpit of the McLaren, Lando Norris would've been fuming with himself about his start to the Dutch Grand Prix. But the British driver has redeemed himself by making a clean overtake on lap 18 of the race in Zandvoort. The McLaren driver blasted by the Dutchman with the aid of DRS and made the move ahead of the corner.

Norris started to close the gap on Verstappen around the 13th lap. He started to apply more and more pressure, and Verstappen started to complain about his tyres over his team radio. The two drivers previously crashed together at the Austrian Grand Prix, but everything went smoothly in the Netherlands.

Verstappen managed to hang onto the DRS range for a couple of laps but eventually dropped away. By lap 22, the difference reached two seconds. Follow the rest of the action on the GPblog liveblog.
