Norris and Russell Battle at Zandvoort | Bristol News

Lando Norris locks down pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix — the last race at Zandvoort before its F1 exit — with George Russell, winner of yesterday’s sprint, right beside him. Kimi Antonelli, the rising star, grabs third, while Oscar Piastri rounds out the front row. Antonelli leads the championship by 53 points over Lewis Hamilton, who starts fifth, as Mercedes dominates constructors’ standings with a 76-point lead over Ferrari. Zandvoort’s high-speed, banked corners delivered thrilling qualifying despite gravel scares — and clear skies promise a wild race. Norris and Russell are in peak form post-summer break, Russell especially sharp after his sprint win. McLaren sits third in constructors’, Red Bull fourth, Racing Bulls fifth after a Hungary surge, and Audi adds a point thanks to Nico Hulkenberg. Lights out at 2 PM UK — the stage is set for a showdown at this iconic track. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
