ZANDVOORT, Netherlands (Reuters) – McLaren’s Lando Norris took pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix on Saturday, with Red Bull’s Formula One championship leader and home hero Max Verstappen joining the Briton on the front row.
Australian Oscar Piastri qualified in third place for McLaren and George Russell completed the second row for Mercedes.
The qualifying was the first time since Zandvoort returned to the calendar in 2021 that triple world champion Verstappen had failed to secure pole. The 26-year-old has yet to be beaten at his home track.
