George Russell cruises to sprint race win at F1's Dutch Grand Prix
By JAMES ELLINGWORTH

ZANDVOORT, Netherlands (AP) --- George Russell started the second half of the
Formula 1 season in style as he eased to a sprint race victory Saturday ahead
of the Dutch Grand Prix.
Russell started from pole position, quickly built a gap to Lando Norris in
second and didn't look back from there, taking his first win since the Austrian
Grand Prix in June.
Charles Leclerc snatched second off Norris with a daring pass into the inside
of the first corner with six laps to go.
Norris held off a late charge from Russell's Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli
to stay third. Fourth-place Antonelli, starting fifth after car damage in
qualifying, still managed to extend his standings lead because his closest
challenger Lewis Hamilton could only manage seventh for Ferrari.
Qualifying takes place later Saturday for Sunday's Dutch Grand Prix.
