The starting grid of the Dutch GP opens, of course, with the host Max Verstappen which will start alongside the Ferrari by Charles Leclerc. After thehe very particular front row had in Belgium, the two riders who are fighting for the world championship return, which gradually gets closer and closer to Verstappen. Third place for the other Ferrari of Sainz who will start with Lewis Hamilton next to him. Good qualification for the seven times world champion who, after withdrawal in Spa, look for redemption and above all the podium.
Dutch GP, lots of news
Hamilton who failed to improve on the last lap of Q3 due to having found the yellow flag caused by Sergio Perez. Meanwhile, the Mexican will start from fifth place right in front of a Mercedes, that of George Russell. Seventh place for the McLaren by Norris, the only one who manages to carry on the MCL36, considering the enormous difficulties of Ricciardo. Next to Norris, the excellent qualification of Mick Schumacher, undisputed MVP yesterday. They close the fifth row Yuki Tsunoda and Lance Stroll.
Who do you not expect
Eleventh place for Pierre gasly who will try to conquer the points zone, following his imminent signing with the Alpine(in which the official announcement is still awaited). His future teammate will be next to him Esteban Ocon, in front of his companion Alonso thirteenth. Not a good Saturday for Alpine which has to try to defend its fourth place in the constructors. Fourteenth place for Guanyu Zhou ahead of Alexander Albon.
The bottom
Sixteenth time a Valtteri Bottas more and more troubled. Like in Belgium(even if the penalty was legitimate there), the Finn misses qualifying for Q2 and will start in front of Haas by Magnussen. Eighteenth time instead for Daniel Ricciardo which continues its nightmare season. Vettel's Aston Martin closes the standings(unlucky yesterday) and the Williams by Latifi.
