Lando Norris could hardly have made a bigger statement of intent as Formula 1 returned from its summer break, as the McLaren driver clinched his second F1 win at the Dutch Grand Prix - and in doing so ended Max Verstappen's winning streak on home soil in crushing fashion.

But why was Norris so dominant at Zandvoort?

Edd Straw is joined by Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm on The Race F1 Podcast to answer that question and plenty more as the constructors' championship battle between Red Bull and McLaren got tighter still.

As well as looking at how Charles Leclerc earned Ferrari an unexpected podium, Sergio Perez's form and Alpine's 'victory' in the midfield battle, there's a host of questions from [The Race Members' Club](https://www.patreon.com/TheRace?ref=the-race.com) on topics including the quality of Norris's drive, whether Red Bull's tyre management has got worse as the year has gone on, and Logan Sargeant's precarious position at Williams.
