Verstappen wins Dutch GP to take championship lead

Max Verstappen

Home favourite Max Verstappen snatched the world championship lead from Lewis Hamilton on Sunday as the Red Bull driver claimed a dominant victory at the first Dutch Grand Prix since 1985.

A week after the farcical washout in Belgium, pole-sitter Verstappen controlled the race from the start in bright sunshine at the beach resort of
Zandvoort.

His seventh win in 13 races this season turned a three-point deficit into a three-point lead over Hamilton ahead of Monza next weekend. Hamilton settled for second with Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas a distant third.
