Lando Norris was forced to retire from the Dutch Grand Prix with seven laps remaining due to an oil leak while running second, allowing Oscar Piastri to extend his championship lead to 34 points. Norris had been nine points behind Piastri before the race. Nine meetings remain in the season, and Norris acknowledged that overturning the deficit will require a herculean effort. Norris said he will relax his approach and go for wins, aiming to win every remaining race despite the difficulty. Piastri dominated from pole in Zandvoort and secured his seventh victory of the season.
It's only made it harder for me and put me under more pressure but it's almost a big enough gap now that I can just chill out about it and just go for it, he said. The only thing I can do is try to win every race. That's going to be difficult, but I'll make sure I give it everything I can.
It's just close, I have a good teammate, he's strong, Norris said. He's quick in every situation, every scenario. It's hard to get things back on someone who's just good in pretty much every situation.
