2024 Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix Highlights

Hear from McLaren Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and Team Principal Andrea Stella after the 2024 Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix.

Both drivers lose a place each at the race start. Lando settles into P2, with Oscar in P4. Lando stays with Verstappen throughout the first stint and begins gaining on him. Lando passes Verstappen on Lap 17 for the race lead. The pit stops begin, giving Oscar clean air to extend his stint into. On lap 28, Lando boxes for a hard set of tyres, and Oscar does the same a few laps later. Lando continues to extend his lead while Oscar is pushing hard from P5. On Lap 39, Oscar gets the pass done on Russell. Oscar closes up to Leclerc but can’t get past in the dirty air. Lando sets the fastest lap on his final lap and takes the race win, with Oscar crossing the line in P4

Lando Norris

This feels amazing! The pace was very strong, and the car was unbelievable today. I could get comfortable, push and get past Max Verstappen, and just go from there. Honestly, it was a pretty straightforward race. It was still challenging but very enjoyable.

Thank you to everyone at the factory for delivering such a strong car and the whole team here for executing the weekend flawlessly. Win number two in the bag. Let’s get some more.

Oscar Piastri

There were some great points for the team, especially with Lando’s win, but it was a little bit disappointing on my side. I made some excellent progress, but I got stuck in the dirty air behind the Ferrari, which had more pace than we were expecting, so I couldn’t maximise the points on my side. However, we’ve got a quick car, so the next part of the season will be pretty fun.

I am looking forward to it.

Andrea Stella

We come away from the Dutch Grand Prix with a strong victory and further validation of our progress as a team. On Lando’s side, he completed a dominant weekend with a comfortable victory and fastest lap, in addition to his pole position yesterday, giving further proof of the calibre of driver we know him to be. Oscar also had a strong weekend and was unlucky, finishing just outside the podium. He was caught in dirty air for an extended period of the race, limiting his forward progress but still bringing home important points for the Constructors’ Championship.

This weekend’s performance was enhanced by the new upgrades we brought to the track, which have proven to add competitiveness to the car, and my thanks go to the entire team for their work in developing, producing and delivering these upgrades. We will celebrate this victory and quickly turn our attention to next week’s Italian Grand Prix, where we hope to continue with the momentum we have built over the past several races. Thanks again to our entire team, fans and partners, and we look forward to racing again in Monza.
