Lando Norris claims victory at Dutch Grand Prix as Mercedes struggles continue

Lando Norris secured his second consecutive victory at the Dutch Grand Prix, defeating championship leader Kimi Antonelli. Despite Norris's win, Antonelli maintained his standings advantage, leading by 83 points in the drivers' standings. Mercedes, once dominant, has not won a race since Spa-Francorchamps and has struggled with car upgrades, deploying fewer parts than rivals this season. The team faces challenges as Antonelli will incur a grid penalty for exceeding engine part limits at the next race. This shift in competitiveness raises questions about Mercedes' strategy heading into the latter half of the season.
