The official starting grid for Sunday's F1 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort is set with reigning world champion Lando Norris on pole position.

The McLaren star pipped Mercedes pair George Russell and Kimi Antonelli for P1 in a thrilling qualifying session on Saturday, with his own team-mate Oscar Piastri next in P4.

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton salvaged something at least from a miserable weekend so far as he pipped Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc for fifth position on the grid, with Max Verstappen P7 for Red Bull.
