Lando Norris has pipped Oscar Piastri to pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix, with championship leader rounding out the top three. The reigning world champion beat his sprint-winning teammate by 0.102s to cap off a strong qualifying campaign at Zandvoort, having topped every session. After claiming provisional pole with a 1m11.344s, conditions shifted as rain threatened the seaside track, prompting a flurry of final Q3 runs.

Drivers rushed out for their closing tours. Norris crossed first, improving to 1m11.163s, while Piastri matched only a 1m11.265s effort. This displaced earlier leaders, locking the McLarens at the front. Ferrari secured an all-Ferrari third row, with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz taking fifth and sixth spots.

Red Bull’s home hero Max Verstappen qualified seventh, sharing the fourth row with stand-in Liam Lawson. Rookie Gabriel Bortoleto completed the top ten for Audi. Midfield action saw Pierre Gasly claim ninth for Alpine, while Haas faced difficulties, finishing nineteenth and twentieth ahead of newcomer Cadillac.
