Max Verstappen equalled Sebastian Vettel’s record of nine successive F1 victories by winning a dramatic, red-flagged Dutch Grand Prix.
Despite starting seventh, Perez led the opening exchanges by being the first driver to pit for intermediates as the rain created a jumbled order.
But Verstappen, who dropped to fourth after pitting for intermediates later, rapidly hunted down his teammate, before undercutting him to move into the lead when the field switched back onto dry tyres. With Verstappen cruising towards a historic win, Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu aquaplaned off during a heavy downpour, resulting in a red flag which set up six laps of racing following a rolling restart.
Behind Perez came Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, who fended off the late attack of Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes to take fifth.McLaren’s Lando Norris was seventh, ahead of Williams’ Alex Albon and Oscar Piastri, while Esteban Ocon completed the points-paying positions in 10th for Alpine. Joining Zhou on the sidelines was Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Logan Sargeant, who crashed heavily in his Williams on Lap 16.
