Lando Norris Claims Pole Position in Dutch GP

Lando Norris secured pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix with a stunning lap time of 1:09.673, outpacing Max Verstappen by 0.356 seconds. This marks Norris's fourth career pole and sets him up for a strong start as he seeks his second career win, having finished second four times this season. Verstappen, who has not won in his last four races, will start alongside Norris in second, while Oscar Piastri will take third. Lewis Hamilton faced a disappointing qualifying, failing to advance past Q2 and will start in 12th place, potentially facing an investigation for blocking another driver. Norris's performance comes as he trails Verstappen by 78 points in the championship standings. The race will be Verstappen's 200th Grand Prix, and he aims to secure a fourth consecutive victory at Zandvoort, where he has previously won three times.
