Lando Norris insisted he would continue to take things "one race at a time" when asked about his championship chances following his victory at the Dutch Grand Prix. 

Norris followed up his first win of the season in Hungary last time out with another in Zandvoort on Sunday, taking the chequered flag ahead of Kimi Antonelli. 

The McLaren driver claimed his 13th win in Formula One, becoming the 25th driver in history to do so, drawing level with Alberto Ascari and David Coulthard in the process. 

But, more importantly, he moved above Charles Leclerc and into fourth in the drivers' championship, though he is still some way off challenging leader Antonelli.

Antonelli pulled 59 points clear of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton after his second-place finish in the Netherlands, with Norris a further 83 points adrift of the Italian. 

With 11 rounds of the 2026 season still to go, making up that gap is hardly impossible for Norris, but he feels there is still plenty that McLaren need to do to improve. 

"It sounds boring but one race at a time. There's no point thinking that far ahead, I need to concentrate on having a nice little break," Norris said.

"Two great weekends but we need to reset and learn as much as we can.

"There are still plenty of things we can do better and need to do better if we want to fight for the championship.

"I'm pleased with the team and how much work everyone is doing and so happy I can deliver it for them and get two wins in a row.

"But it's harder than I'd like and I want a bigger gap. We have to keep working hard, there are still plenty of races, plenty of opportunities for everyone.

"Keep my head down, keep working and it'll come."

After securing pole on Saturday, Norris found himself behind Antonelli upon the resumption of action after Max Verstappen's crash on lap one caused the race to be paused. 

From there, Antonelli controlled the race until the second round of pitstops, with Norris coming alive and eventually overtaking the Mercedes driver and not looking back. 

It followed a disappointing performance in the sprint race, where Norris came third, and he was pleased to repay the faith shown in him during the main race. 

"A tough race. Yesterday I said we needed to put on a bit of a show for everyone for the final race here," Norris added.

"I made it tough for myself today but a good race, well fought. Probably one of my better wins, we had to fight for it. The pace was very strong and we managed things well.

"Over the moon, very happy. It's nice to win the final race in Zandvoort.

"I knew I wasn't going to get many chances [to take the lead]. Every lap I spent behind, my odds were getting lower and lower.

"I saw [Hamilton] defending and I knew that was my moment. I did a couple of clicks of brake balance, I knew I was going to commit to braking and that move won me the race.

"I knew I only had one chance to make it happen, and I made the most of it. Another win here. Very happy."
