Lando Norris takes pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, beating Mercedes drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli in a tense qualifying session. Multiple outlets describe a hectic end to the session, with drivers pushing to complete laps amid changing conditions.
Several sources say Norris and others rush to get flying laps in before late rain is expected. Yahoo Sports, BBC News and others specifically mention a scramble to finish laps before a late shower of rain, while The Independent and Sky Sports also highlight the frantic or blustery nature of qualifying. The Guardian adds context about how Norris makes a late charge to secure top spot, with Oscar Piastri fourth and Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc fifth and sixth. It also notes Max Verstappen is seventh. Coverage also frames the result as part of McLaren’s strong run at Zandvoort, including references to Norris’s recent form and a possible Dutch GP pole streak for McLaren.
