Worth Watching Score

3.1

If you’re hunting for chaos, this wasn’t it—Zandvoort served up a tidy grand prix that, despite 66 overtakes, felt light on true jeopardy. Lando Norris controlled the race once at the front, with Max Verstappen close but rarely in striking range, and Charles Leclerc banking a steady P3. Strategy was by-the-book and most passes were DRS shuffles in the midfield, meaning the podium picture barely wobbled across long green-flag stretches. Worth a watch mainly for Norris fans or the novelty of Verstappen being beaten at home; otherwise, the highlights will do.
