00:01That's Sergio Perez coming across Lewis Hamilton not happy and race control have noted it for potentially impeding
00:07What the f*** is this idiot doing?
00:10Yeah, it's well out of his way
00:12Yeah, no sweat
00:15Carlos Sainz comes across the line
00:17Can he get ahead? And he can to demote Perez into the drop zone
00:20Another fastest final sector to the surprise of the gentleman alongside me
00:26I thought he might have been under pressure for the bottom five and he went to the top spot
00:29That's how much the track is coming towards them now
00:31And Leclerc goes into second position so it's about your timing as you come over the line
00:36And now Russell has a chance to go fastest and does so
00:40Track really rubbering in aggressively as we make our way through this session
00:44Currently in the drop zone needing a clean lap, needing an improvement
00:47A man fighting for his Formula 1 future even though he's got a two-year contract
00:51Sergio Perez coming across the line and he goes fastest as well
00:56Perez, Russell, Sainz and Leclerc all finding an improvement when they needed to
01:00That's P1, FU-TENX Q2
01:03Yeah, but we f*** waste our set so please
01:06For worse than that they've been penalised so I don't expect any less
01:10Yeah, we control what we control, it has been reported
01:14Daniel Ricciardo, Esteban Ocon and the two Sauber's Bottas ahead of Joe go out
01:20And Sargent did not take part in the session
01:23They're the five to go at the end of Q1
01:26Big lap for Sergio Perez, delivers when he needed to
01:30Fourth position for the Red Bull driver ahead of Max Verstappen who remains in the pit lane
01:36Alonso and Sainz now in the drop zone with the early efforts from those
01:41As the chequered flag being prepared
01:42Alex Albon, enormous leap forward, gets to fifth
01:46Stroll's quickest in the first sector though
01:48So expect to see him nibble his way back forward
01:51Alonso, couple of tenths down in him
01:54Hamilton's first sector is very ordinary as well
01:56And he's down to tenth place, he's finding a chunk in the middle
01:59You can change that, Hamilton now drops down to eleventh
02:02He's there with Charles Leclerc
02:04Stroll on a good lap as well, let's see if you can see it through to the end
02:07Fastest of anyone in the first sector
02:09Improvement, middle sector, add it all up
02:11And it goes to fourth for the Aston Martin driver, Lance Stroll
02:15The driver at risk is Carlos Sainz
02:17Can Hamilton find the time? No!
02:19Hamilton, who looked so strong before the summer break
02:23Two times a winner in the last three Grand Prix
02:26Out as Charles Leclerc goes to sixth position
02:29And his teammate knocked out as a result as well
02:33Sainz and Hamilton find themselves heading out in the second part of qualifying
02:40The bottom five, Hulkenberg ahead of Magnussen, Tsunoda in thirteenth
02:44And the big story, Sainz and Hamilton fall at the second hurdle
02:49First over the line, Oscar Piastri will put a time on the board
02:53Lando Norris going very quickly behind, McLaren trying to do what they did in Budapest
02:57And lock out the front row, Piastri a 1.10.1
03:01Max Verstappen were on board with the world championship leader
03:04Trying to respond, he's just behind, less than three hundredths of a second
03:08And as Norris goes for the line, he's made a bit of a mistake in the middle sector
03:11Norris across the line and ahead of Piastri and Verstappen
03:16He had enough to get ahead after that mistake in the middle part of the lap
03:21Norris, Piastri, Verstappen, the top three
03:23Charles Leclerc cannot get on terms with any of them
03:27He's six tenths of a second behind Lando Norris in the scarlet Ferrari
03:32Through the banked final corner, the fourteenth and final corner of this racetrack
03:36Where does Russell go as he comes across the line?
03:39Behind the two McLarens and Max Verstappen, he goes to fourth
03:44Okay, this is when it's all on the line, two minutes to go
03:47Pole position at the Dutch Grand Prix, up for grabs
03:50Can Max Verstappen take it once again?
03:53He's looking for a chance to step forward
03:56And the Dutch driver has an opportunity all over the kerbs there
04:02As we attack, 90 seconds to go, we're on board with him
04:05He's looking for a personal best in the first sector
04:08It is a personal best, but it's not on terms with what the McLaren's been able to manage
04:13Yeah, full commitment through seven, just beautiful to hear
04:16Just a small lift and dragging the speed off through that turn
04:21But visibly working the wheel in these lower speed corners
04:25Let's see if he can keep it tidy
04:27Yeah, that was actually not a bad drive off this middle part of the lap
04:31But Norris has lowered the lap time possible in the first sector again
04:37Hanging onto it, Max Verstappen trying to scrub the speed off
04:39He's got the fastest middle sector of anyone so far
04:43Can he give himself an opportunity to force the McLarens to respond?
04:48Verstappen hanging onto it all the way through the lap
04:51Trying to make it four pole positions in a row
04:53And he's home race, and that time is good enough to bring a cheer from the grandstand
04:58He will force the McLarens to respond
05:00Here is Lando Norris, who takes it back and then some
05:04By three tenths of a second
05:06Is Lando Norris heading to a fourth career pole position?
05:10Or will it be a first for Oscar Piastri?
05:13Piastri's a little bit down in that first sector
05:16We do know there's enough of the middle part and final part of the lap to pull it back
05:21But doesn't have quite the same confidence in that high speed section
05:25Rides the kerb as he runs it down into this little chicane-like living 12
05:33Nice little camber change there again to continue the roller coaster ride that is Zanvoort
05:39Well Lando Norris looks like he's on the brink of a fourth career pole position in Formula One
05:44Oscar Piastri is trying to join his teammate on the front row
05:48Can McLaren lock out the front row? Or will it be Verstappen?
05:51No! Third place for Oscar Piastri
05:54Max Verstappen was quicker by about half a tenth of a second
05:58And it's Norris in the box seat
06:00Russell not improving in the middle part of the lap
06:02Add it all together, it should be a step forward for the British driver
06:06Currently in P5, Perez is in fourth, he was!
06:09Russell moves to fourth position
06:11And it is Lando Norris and Max Verstappen
06:15Who will resume battle on the front row in Formula One
06:19By the standards of this season
06:21That is a dominant pole position
06:23Lando Norris takes pole for the Dutch Grand Prix
06:27He's three and a half tenths of a second ahead
06:30For just the fourth time in Formula One
06:32It's Lando Norris at the front of the field
06:34Lovely work
06:36Well done, nice job
06:37And confirm that it's pole
06:38And this is our qualifying result
06:41As Formula One returns
06:43And Lando Norris returns to pole position
06:45Go!
06:47Go!
06:49Go!
06:50Go!
