Norris gains edge over Antonelli in Dutch Grand Prix pit strategy

Lando Norris managed to overtake Kimi Antonelli during the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort after benefiting from a crucial pit strategy. Norris couldn't pass Antonelli on track despite having a faster car for 17 laps, remaining close behind before his team pitted him later, allowing him fresher tyres. This decision enabled him to close a 4.8-second gap before finally making the pass at Turn 1. The race highlighted the difficulties of overtaking at Zandvoort, where even slight pace advantages do not guarantee successful passes due to the track's layout.
