- George Russell second; Charles Leclerc third
- Lewis Hamilton anger at team strategy call
Max Verstappen won the Dutch Grand Prix with a dominant drive from pole position for Red Bull. The Dutchman had formidable pace at Zandvoort and solidly beat Mercedes’ George Russell into second place. However Mercedes provoked anger from Lewis Hamilton when a late strategy call cost the British driver any chance of a podium finish and reduced him to fourth place, from the lead. Charles Leclerc was in third for Ferrari, Red Bull’s Sergio Pérez in fifth and Alpine’s Fernando Alonso in sixth.
Strategy had played a key part in the race, where Mercedes looked to have pulled off a masterstroke only for a late safety car to scupper what had been at the very least a solid second and third behind Verstappen. It left Hamilton furious with his team but out front Verstappen had opened an even greater lead in the championship.
