An orange at the party, a victory with more than 20 seconds in advance at Zandvoort, before a best lap obtained on the checkerboard, and this impression of absolute ease. No, you are not dreaming. It's not Max Verstappen who won, but Lando Norris. We were of course waiting McLaren in the Netherlands, even more so since the pole achieved by Lando Norris, but no one had imagined such a chronometric slap (22”896). It's not just Max and Red Bull who took a slap. The whole paddock is groggy.
It's simple, this is the biggest gap recorded between the winner and his runner-up since the inaugural round in Bahrain, and the first time in two and a half years that a driver other than Max has won with more than 10 seconds. We will still have to wait for Monza, starting this weekend

The 2 McLarens were slow to start, so it's not an error from Lando! ! !

Remontada, you still have to believe in Santa Claus! That being said, I can't wait for Monza for the rest of this end of the season which could be as competitive as that of 2021 even if I remain convinced that the double experience of the cans and the Batave will still make the difference in the end
