Oscar Piastri claimed a valuable win in the Dutch Grand Prix as his team mate and championship rival retired from second place.

Lando Norris was chasing Piastri for the lead with seven laps to go when his Mercedes power unit failed. Piastri, who had led the race from the start, claimed a maximum 25 points to move 34 clear at the head of the standings.

Max Verstappen took second place while Norris’s late retirement promoted Racing Bulls driver Isack Hadjar onto the podium for the first time in his career.

Piastri emerged the winner from an eventful race which saw both Ferrari drivers retire in crashes. Lewis Hamilton hit the barrier by himself on lap 23, triggering a Safety Car period which disadvantaged his team mate Charles Leclerc, dropping him behind George Russell’s Mercedes.

Leclerc eventually repassed Russell with a physical move at the Hans Ernst Bocht. However he came under attack from the other Mercedes of Andrea Kimi Antonelli after both made extra pit stops for soft tyres, and the pair collided at the same corner where Hamilton retired. Leclerc retired on the spot, while Antonelli was penalised for the collision.

Russell therefore emerged in fourth place, chased home by the Williams of Alexander Albon, who climbed impressively from 15th on the grid. His team mate Carlos Sainz Jnr was frustrated to receive a penalty for a collision with Liam Lawson which spoiled both their races.

Antonelli crossed the line in sixth but was relegated 10 places due to a total time penalty of 15 seconds, having also broken the pit lane speed limit. Oliver Bearman, who started from the pit lane, therefore inherited an excellent sixth place.

The Aston Martin drivers came next, Lance Stroll in seventh after benefitting from an early pit stop. Yuki Tsunoda ended his points drought with ninth place ahead of Esteban Ocon.
