Lap 58/72
Solid start from Piastri who is 1.1s ahead of Norris, as the Briton is instead defending from Verstappen. Verstappen's softs have clearly come up to temperature well, while it takes a little longer for the hard rubber.
Lap 60/72
Well Norris has quickly closed the gap and he is already within DRS range of Piastri. Leclerc, meanwhile, has just situated himself at Turn 3 to watch the action rather than returning to his garage.
Lap 62/72
Antonelli's day just keeps getting worse! A 5s penalty for speeding in the pitlane, which adds to the 10s he got for colliding into Leclerc.
Lap 63/72
Piastri seems to have overcome Norris's brief scare, as he is now crucially out of DRS range.
It's no surprise that Hadjar leads the fan-voted 'driver of the day' award. The Racing Bulls rookie has kept position in fourth, having withstood pressure from the likes of Russell.
Lap 65/72
Uh-oh! That could be huge for the championship with Norris retiring thanks to a smoky engine.
As things stand, Piastri leads the championship by 34 points.
Norris is understandably devastated as he walks back to the garage. How does he claw back that championship deficit?
Lap 68/72
But Norris's misfortune could benefit Hadjar in third. The Racing Bulls driver could become the second rookie to claim a podium this year after Antonelli in Canada.
Everybody in the Racing Bulls garage is clearly looking on nervously.
Lap 68/72
Green once again.
Lap 69/72
Great start from Piastri once again, who has held off Verstappen. He is the only driver of the top seven to be running on hard rubber.
Lap 71/72
Despite the many restarts and Norris staying within range, Piastri has shown immense bottle in this grand prix. He has led from start-to-finish in what has been a real champion-like performance.
Oscar Piastri wins the Dutch Grand Prix. Huge for the title race, as he establishes a 34-point lead over Norris!
But Isack, wow, well done - a maiden podium for the rookie in third behind Verstappen.
Absolute scenes down at Racing Bulls after podium number six for Team Faenza.
Hadjar: "Really happy about myself, made no mistakes."
Piastri in parc ferme: "Hard to follow up, Isack."
Well, what an end that was. Read all about it here and we'll be back for Monza!
