Norris Takes Dutch GP Qualifying Pole; Russell Wins Sprint

Lando Norris took pole for the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, but George Russell converted that starting advantage into sprint victory. Charles Leclerc finished second after a late pass on Norris, with Norris third and Oscar Piastri in fourth as Verstappen and other runners remained in the mix. Kimi Antonelli extended his overall lead in the championship, while Hamilton finished seventh and put pressure on the top contenders. The sprint featured occasional rain signals and strategic tyre management, with overtaking remaining challenging and pace varying across the field. The weekend underscored how grid position and tyre strategy will shape Sunday's main race for Russell's title bid.
