Qualifying has just ended Dutch Grand Prix with the landlord Max Verstappen who conquers the pole position. A superlative lap, as usual, allowed the Dutch phenomenon to put his car ahead of everyone. Six tenths to the second position taken by Lando Norris which does everything well, but Max is impregnable.
Russell in third, Albon superb in fourth
In third position we find George Russell. An excellent result for the Briton, especially considering where he is Lewis Hamiltonwhich was eliminated in Q2. Probably the MVP of these qualifications, Alexander albon, he concludes in P4 with her Williams. The English car confirms itself growing from the race of Silverstone and today, on a track favorable to the car, it showed its true potential. The goodness of the car on this track was also demonstrated by his teammate Logan sargeant. The American managed to bring the car in Q3, but because of the conditions not perfectly dry he lost his car in curve 2 putting it on the wall. She will then leave in P10.
Perez disaster, Ferrari accompanies
In fifth position Fernando Alonso which returns to position itself in the top area of the rankings with its Aston Martin. Who disappoints is definitely there Ferrari. In fact, in sixth position we find Carlos Sainz, while Charles Leclerc closes in P9. The Monegasque was the protagonist of a accident in the second sector due to a machine very nervousalmost undrivable. We know the 24 year old, always look for the limit; but when the machine doesn't allow you to do it, as has already happened to Miami, yes puts it on the wall. Sainz himself is unable to go beyond the third row: the feeling with the car it hasn't been there since FP1. Who else disappoints is Sergio Perez: despite driving the same car as Verstappen, he closes 1.3 seconds from his teammate. From Miami, the Mexican fails to grab the first row (without penalty).
Closes the top 10 in P8 Oscar Piastri. The Australian did well all weekend (except for the FP2 yesterday), but he missed it the last shot, committing some errors which did not allow him to go beyond eighth position.
