Dominant Norris beats local hero Verstappen to pole by over three tenths
Lando Norris beat Max Verstappen to pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix, with Oscar Piastri third in the second McLaren. George Russell finished just behind for Friday practice pacesetter Mercedes, which had Lewis Hamilton fail to progress from Q2 in a session where all the drivers were struggling to build tyre temperature on the cool track surface that was very green after further rain hit the event earlier on Saturday. Norris led Q3 throughout – his initial 1m10.
Perez's extra lap was required after his first attempt was scuppered coming across Hamilton going slowly on the outside of Turn 9 in an incident that will be investigated now the session has concluded. Esteban Ocon could not find the same improvements as others amid the track evolution factor and was out in 17th despite setting a personal best time on his last Q1 lap, with Sauber pair Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu also out after doing their final efforts ahead of many others.
