Join us in Zandvoort this Sunday, August 31, 2025, at 15:00 for the fifteenth round of the 2025 F1 season.
Unbeatable since the start of the weekend in Zandvoort, Lando Norris had to yield the spotlight to his teammate Oscar Piastri. The Australian driver secured pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix, finishing just 0.012 seconds ahead of the Brit, giving McLaren a front-row lockout. Isack Hadjar also shone, clinching fourth place.
Norris had dominated the three free practice sessions and seemed set for his 14th career pole. His comfort on the Zandvoort track, where he had won last year, made him a strong favorite. However, in Q3, Piastri delivered a perfect lap to claim his fifth pole in Formula 1. The two papaya cars, far ahead of the competition, will line up side by side at the start, promising a fierce duel between the two title contenders.
Behind McLaren, Max Verstappen provided a spectacle in front of his home crowd by securing third place. However, the standout performance of the day came from Isack Hadjar. The Frenchman posted the fourth-best time after a dazzling final lap, ahead of George Russell and the two Ferraris. Already impressive in his first attempt on used tires, the Parisian confirmed his potential with his best qualifying in F1.
At Ferrari, the reaction was welcome after a disastrous Friday. Charles Leclerc will start sixth, just ahead of Lewis Hamilton, while Carlos Sainz completes the top 10. Aston Martin, on the other hand, had a frustrating session: Fernando Alonso could only manage 10th, and Lance Stroll will start last after going off track during Q1.

The day was also challenging for the other French drivers. Esteban Ocon only managed the 18th fastest time, ahead of his teammate Oliver Bearman. Pierre Gasly reached Q2, but his 15th place reflects the current limitations of the Alpine.
