Max Verstappen was able to take provisional pole for his home race at Circuit Zandvoort, pacing the track at just a little over 70 seconds.
That is until Lando Norris bested the Dutchman with a lap time just under the 70-second barrier for McLaren. Norris will start on pole for the race, while Verstappen will search for his fourth straight win in the Dutch Grand Prix from second on the grid for Red Bull.
Oscar Piastri was able to qualify the other McLaren in third.
“It’s harder then it looks,” Norris said in the podium interviews when asked about track conditions around the windy beach circuit. “Everyone’s complaining because obviously, it is tricky out there. Every lap you have to know what to expect and how much you can push.
“But that’s our job at the end of the day. It’s not easy, but I felt comfortable out there. We have some upgrades on the car for the first time in a while and they are working really well.”
Q3
There were no incidents or wrecks in this session or in all of qualifying.
UPDATE: Alexander Albon has been disqualified from qualifying after FIA stewards found an irregularity with the floor of his No. 23 Williams Mercedes. Albon will now start tomorrow’s Dutch Grand Prix at the rear of the field.
