Norris on pole as rain tests Dutch Grand Prix grid at Zandvoort

Lando Norris starts from pole at Zandvoort with George Russell on the front row after a rain-affected build-up; Kimi Antonelli is third and Lewis Hamilton fifth as the Dutch Grand Prix begins at 14:00 BST. Overtaking is tough on this track, and a two-stop is widely seen as fastest, with Ferrari and Max Verstappen likely to start on softs. A shower was forecast to clear by around 14:30 local time, leaving dry conditions for the race, which is the final Dutch GP on the current calendar.

Verstappen questions delayed double-yellow flags as FIA explains protocol

Max Verstappen argued the crash at Turn 9 at the Red Bull Ring should have triggered double yellow flags sooner, but the FIA said marshals first showed a single yellow and only upgraded to double yellows after a 15–20 second assessment; during that gap, Russell and Andrea Kimi Antonelli passed the scene, and the FIA outlined the standard procedure for determining flag upgrades based on danger.

Toto Wolff praised the lap, as Russell seeks to close a 50-point gap to leader Antonelli.
