Dutch GP: Piastri wins dramatic race after Norris retires
- Oscar Piastri won the Dutch Grand Prix after teammate Lando Norris retired on Sunday at Zandvoort due to a McLaren engine failure.
- The race occurred amid a close title battle with Piastri leading Norris by nine points and McLaren implementing 'Papaya rules' allowing open racing.
- Piastri managed three safety car restarts, held off Norris twice, kept Max Verstappen behind after Norris' retirement, while both Ferraris crashed in the same barrier spot.
- Piastri increased his lead over Norris from nine to 34 points with nine races remaining, saying it 'feels good' but was 'incredibly unfortunate for Lando at the end.'
- Norris' breakdown dealt a heavy blow to his title chances, boosted Verstappen's home race second place, and left Piastri as McLaren's clear frontrunner moving forward.
