Max Verstappen xLewis Hamilton

Red Bull's Max Verstappen took pole position, looking to extend his winning streak.

Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, finds himself in a rare 13th position after being hindered by Yuki Tsunoda in Q2, which resulted in a penalty for the AlphaTauri driver. Kevin Magnussen, who had originally qualified 18th, changed his power unit and will start from the pit-lane in last place.

With six different teams in the top six positions and a threat of rain in the air, the race promises plenty of action and uncertainty.

Crash in track

The segment was halted for around 20 minutes at the start after Logan Sargeant crashed at turn 2. The American was on soft tires and ended up slipping on a still damp section of the track. By the time the race resumed, all nine drivers had switched to the red compounds as the track evolved. Norris took provisional pole position with a time of 1'12.049.

Four minutes before the flag, however, another red: Leclerc hit the barriers at Turn 9 sideways. When the session resumed around seven minutes later, Verstappen, Piastri and Norris started their last lap together.

The two-time champion clocked 1'10.567 and secured another pole position, as his McLaren rivals were unable to overtake him. The last to complete his fast lap, Russell overtook Albon and secured third place on the second row of the starting grid alongside the Anglo-Thai from Williams.

Eliminated training

With the track now more stable, Verstappen set the mark to beat in the opening minutes of the segment and, despite once again suffering from competition from Norris and Piastri, managed to beat his McLaren rivals twice and take the flag in first place.

The positive surprise came from Williams, who put Albon in the provisional lead and kept him in the top ten, a group that Logan Sargeant joined for the first time in his career when the timer stopped, being the last to qualify for Q3. The negative, on the other hand, was Hamilton's elimination: he set only the ninth fastest time and fell to 13th with the final laps of Sainz, Gasly and Stroll.

ELIMINATED

11TH Lance Stroll (ASTON MARTIN)
12TH Pierre Gasly (ALPINE)
13TH Lewis Hamilton (MERCEDES)
14TH Yuki Tsunoda (ALPHATAURI)
15TH Nico Hulkenberg (HAAS)

Hamilton

Mercedes only had George Russell in Q3, after Hamilton was eliminated in Q2 in 13th place: after seven straight top 10 finishes, the seven-time champion will start in the middle of the pack for the first time since Miami in May. 

The rain that affected the third practice session even let up, but the track was unforgiving: Verstappen ended up in the gravel at turn 1 on his first lap of the session; Albon suffered the same at turn 11. Kevin Magnussen, who crashed in TL3, was another to escape the track. And there are ongoing investigations: Lance Stroll for getting in the way of Lewis Hamilton on track, and Carlos Sainz for forcing Oscar Piastri out.

Daniel Ricciardo

Daniel Ricciardo will not be able to take part in the rest of this weekend's races at Zandvoort in the Netherlands. The AlphaTauri driver broke his left wrist during Tl2 on Friday (25) after throwing his car into the barrier in an attempt to avoid Oscar Piastri, who had crashed a few moments earlier. Liam Lawson, a reserve driver for the Faenza team, will therefore make his debut in a Formula 1 GP.

Ricciardo had to be quick to escape a possible T-bone crash, unable to get his hands off the wheel. After the impact, he immediately complained of pain in his hand over the radio, removing his glove as soon as he left the cockpit. The Australian was then taken to the medical center at the Zandvoort circuit and left with a sling immobilizing his left arm.

Liam Lawson

Liam Lawson made his Formula 1 debut on Saturday, replacing Daniel Ricciardo at AlphaTauri. However, the New Zealander only drove on wet tracks - either in Free Practice 3 or in qualifying, as he was eliminated in Q1 when it was still raining at Zandvoort. For this reason, the driver admits that he will have to "relearn everything" if the Dutch GP is held in the dry.

"Obviously tomorrow, if it's dry, potentially I'll have to relearn everything again, because I haven't driven on a dry track. So it will be a tough race, but I'm excited. At the same time, I know it will be very challenging and we'll have a lot to learn. I think we'll have a clean race", he said.

How is the championship going?

Red Bull has dominated this season, taking twelve wins in twelve rounds: ten of them by Max Verstappen and two by Sergio Pérez. The Dutch driver has won the last eight GPs in a row and has reached 314 points, further extending his lead over his teammate, who is second in the championship with 189.

In the Constructors' World Championship, Red Bull has 503 points, while Mercedes has 247, representing just under half of the Austrian team's points. Aston Martin is in third place with 196 points, followed by Ferrari, which has accumulated 191.

In the qualifying race...

Williams advanced with Alexander Albon and Logan Sargeant to Q3 together for the first time this year. Albon took fourth place, his best result on the starting grid with the team. Tenth, Sargeant also became the first driver from the United States to make the top 10 since Michael Andretti, who qualified ninth in the 1993 Italian Grand Prix.

However, he triggered the first red flag of qualifying in the opening minutes, crashing at turn 2. The second stoppage came with Charles Leclerc, at the end of Q3.

Max Verstappen

Max Verstappen's 28th pole position of his career came on Saturday at the Dutch Grand Prix with a special twist: the two-time champion will start from the top for the third time at home on the Zandvoort circuit, equaling René Arnoux's record for the most pole-sitters at the Dutch round. His lap of 1'10.567 under the flag gave the RBR driver the lead ahead of Lando Norris and George Russell.

Confirming their good performance in free practice, McLaren proved competitive with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri dueling for the best laps in the segments. The pair occupied the top positions at the red flag triggered by Charles Leclerc at the end of Q3. But their final laps were not enough to beat Verstappen, who took pole with the last lap under the flag.

TIME AND PLACE!

The Dutch Grand Prix is a Formula 1 race.

The third and final free practice session for the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix, which opened this Saturday's activities at Zandvoort, was confusing. With heavy rain and a very wet track the whole time, the session saw three red flags and countless people walking on the gravel and in the corner of the walls. Max Verstappen did well in the midst of this, repeating TL1 and taking first place.

Verstappen didn't dominate the whole of practice and even spent a lot of time behind the two McLarens. But as the track improved a little towards the end, he flew away and finished well ahead of second place. Which, in the end, was George Russell.

The start of the Formula 1 race at the Dutch Grand Prix takes place at the Park Zandvoort circuit and is scheduled for 09am ET this Sunday.
