Race Highlights | 2024 Dutch Grand Prix

here comes the green flag at the back we go racing in xanor in Five Lights time and the Dutch Grand Prix is underway what sort of reaction is it it's a poor start fando Norris and matx for STA and takes the lead once again Norris has not found the launch he was looking for and the home hero hit the front of the field George Russell is up to third position it's for stappen then Norris and Russell as the field try to make their way through the First turns on the racet track for the first time to the side low line for pastri can't make it work it's for STA and then Norris and Russell yeah it's the worst case scenario for or Lando Norris there and also George Russell licking his chops because uh I think that Oscar must have got boxed in and he's taken advantage of that so Lights Go Out Norris's reaction is good but he just goes nowhere in that first phase of the launch and he is already cleanly behind V stappen you can see Russell and pastri side by side you can hear the chattering he just cannot get the power down he's still seeing the battles going on so this is all a result of Yuki Coda not being able to get past the half and now he's under pressure from Lewis Hamilton who's trying to move forward he'll get to the Apex first that's a tidy pass you don't get many into turn 11 but Hamilton has provided us with the first one of the day and he climbs up to 12th position round the outside for Carlos SS places the Ferrari well gets past two-time world champion Fernando Alonzo nice move using the bit of Bank in there at turn one new team principal Oliver Oaks who's about to see his car come under serious pressure from the Ferrari Carlos SS who stays in the slipstream for as long as possible gazley is going to fight this one around the outside tough moment on the Apex gazley keeps his foot in in the Alpine and who's going to get there into turn number two still they go side by side and signs gets ahead another position gained he moves up to seventh Hamilton to the inside can he get to the Apex first he can second ason Martin cleared Hamilton slicing his way through the field nicely at the moment he's making good progress out a circuit where it's not always the easiest to overtake my ti are just num they don't they don't cop that you always start feeling the heat you're not feeling comfortable in the car you're struggling you're losing grip and then you just see the car behind getting closer and closer and now he's having to defend into turn one is very close on board orando norres trying to take the lead of the Dutch Grand Prix from the home favorite he's getting to the Apex first he's moving ahead and all of the damage done at the start of the Grand Prix is forgotten now because Lando Norris takes the lead he's got such tremendous Pace right now at this AG in the race you can just see Max didn't offer a defense but he didn't have the grip really to defend anyway in com Char Clair after an encouraging stint he's going to that fresher rber faster remember we saw the fastest La the r still the fastest SLP of the race by Alex Alvin on that hard compounded tire so it's working on the Williams the Ferrari will hope it works as well here is George Russell not having the fastest stop slightly slow on the front there but 3.4 seconds what can charl Clair do can he take advantage this could be close lir has done the fastest middle sector of the race so far there he is and he's going to sweep around the outside he is in the net race ahead of Oscar piastri and also ahead of George Russell charlot Clair going for the early stop getting the benefit of the fresh rber and a slightly slow stop for Mercedes means the Ferrari gets ahead Alex alurn who has a long stin on these tires 26 laps to be exact oh here's an opportunity we've got overtakes everywhere you look including around the outside to take the place for Oscar piastri who says goodbye to George Russell and that is a tire offset that is a difference in performance RIT large at turn number one piastri will be trying to hunt down charl Clair next can I interest you in cars absolutely everywhere look at this a total Brawl on the main straight three wide into Tarzan corner will not work turning his way back to the points is Alex Alin who's then being overtaken by Pierre gazley gazley goes to 10th Alvin's in 11th Alonzo in 12th position and stroll in 13th that one came alive right let's enjoy this again Kevin Magnuson was at the front of the field when he came out of turn 14 and he was bringing half the grid with him that's Alban that's gazley that's Fernando Alonzo three wide into turn one quite a few and through goes L stroll as well it's just dangerous really dangerous alono has an easy pass on Alex Alan the fresher tires paying off now for the the drivers there that pitted a bit later piastri stayed out longer elongated that first in so that he would have the chance to attack now on the breaks into turn number one and Carlos SS trying to fight his way by he's done so as he got past Perez he has and he's taken sixth position from the Mexican driver Who's down to seventh Russell who started in fourth place Hamilton who started in 14th position seventh and eighth at the moment for Mercedes curious call to pit Russell there he's lost a couple of places SS went through Perez has gone through he's got 19 seconds to make up to Sergio Perez we still need to decide who will be in the second and Sal seat and we know that hulkenberg will be heading to the team that will become Audi there's a massive difference in grip here between these two cars and Pierre gazy knew it to Roar around the outside and take ninth position that would equal his personal best in 2024 Fernando Alonzo getting past hulkenberg hulkenberg trying to hang on to the point here trying to go to 23 points of the season and Fernando Alonzo says nope I'm going to do what gazley did and go the long way round employ the better traction and take 10th position Lando said before today that he hadn't been driving like a world champion he knows that this summer many wins have slipped away but he has regrouped and today at the house that Max rebuilt the winner is orange once again but this time he's driving a McLaren for the second time in Formula 1 lond Norris wins Lando Norris wins the Dutch Grand Prix with a crushing performance and the bonus point for fastest lap the Gap in the world championship is 70 points Norris taking a second career win and he had a personal best in all three sectors of the lapa 1138 as Max V stappen on the podium at his home Grand Prix once again this time it is second place Char clir will complete the podium he was chased home by Oscar piastri in fourth and that will be fifth across the line for for Carlos SS uhhuh simply lovely huh you did just sneak it in there as well fast as Happ thank you Bo incredible job car was unbelievable thank you so much incredible job let's keep pushing the traditional celebration fando Norris it wasn't the start that he wanted to the Grand Prix he was forced to study the real wing of the Red Bull for 17 long laps but when he hit the front it looked like no one had the answer to him and by the end of the Grand Prix when he was taking the bonus point for fastest lap on the 72nd and last tour it was clear that that updated McLaren in clear air is an absolute rocket ship [Music]
