In an exhilarating qualifying session for the Dutch Grand Prix, McLaren's Lando Norris clinched the coveted pole position. Joining him on the front row is Red Bull's Max Verstappen, the reigning Formula One champion and local favorite.

Australia's Oscar Piastri secured the third spot for McLaren, while George Russell completed the second row for Mercedes, making for a competitive starting grid.

Notably, this is the first instance since Zandvoort rejoined the Formula One calendar in 2021 that Verstappen, a triple world champion, did not secure pole position at his home track.
