What is the starting grid for the 2023 F1 Dutch Grand Prix?
The starting grid for the Dutch Grand Prix was decided after qualifying on Saturday.
It was a tumultuous session that saw the weather go from rainy to dry. Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen takes pole position for his home race, the first competition since the summer break.
“The pressure is always there to perform, but when you can pull it off it's incredible," he said on the ESPN broadcast as the crowd cheered.
The Dutchman will share the front row with McLaren's Lando Norris, who has surged into contention after a slow start to the season.
“I’m happy still, P2 was a good result," he said. "I guess in these kind of conditions, every now and then, you hope Max makes a mistake and he doesn’t.”
There were multiple red flags in qualifying as officials had to fix barriers and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc crashed.
The surprise of the day was Williams, who had both drivers make it to Q3. Alex Albon will start P4 with his teammate, American driver Logan Sargeant, starting P10 after his first trip to the last round of qualifying.
AlphaTauri's Daniel Ricciardo broke his hand on Friday during practice in just his third race weekend back after being called up from Red Bull's reserve. He was replaced by reserve driver Liam Lawson, who will be making his Formula 1 debut from the back of the grid.
