Friday's practice sessions and Saturday's qualifying have made two things clear under the uncertain sky: first, a Dutch anthem celebration seems unlikely as Red Bull faces strong competition from McLaren; second, neither Mercedes nor Ferrari is in a favorable position this weekend.
The qualifying session of the Dutch Grand Prix 2024 featured a thrilling contest for pole position between Lando Norris and Max Verstappen. In a surprising turn, the Briton set an impressive Q3 lap time of 1:09.673, surpassing the Dutchman—who had briefly claimed the top spot. As a result, Verstappen fell to second, trailing Norris by 0.356 seconds.
Both Ferrari drivers faced difficulties, with Charles Leclerc securing sixth place and Carlos Sainz struggling to push his Ferrari, eventually finishing 11th.
The seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton made a shock departure in 12th for Mercedes. However, George Russell made it to the fourth.
With Checo Perez securing a fifth-place finish in qualifying after a long stint away from the front rows, Red Bull is optimistic about a victorious showdown at the home race of their star, Max Verstappen.
