"Right, around 45 minutes until lights out at Zandvoort. Lots of last-minute checks and adjustments are going on in the garages, while the grid is inevitably filling up with relevant (and some irrelevant) people. Share Our man Giles Richards sat down for a big chinwag with the World Championship leader Oscar Piastri in the Netherlands earlier this weekend. I have emotions, I still feel everything that everyone else feels. It's just that, being blunt, I think a lot of emotions are not that helpful."
"After a near-month-long summer break, a Formula One grand prix is finally back on our screens, with Oscar Piastri on pole for this Dutch GP. That Piastri qualified just 0.012 seconds ahead of his McLaren teammate Lando Norris was a sore point for the British driver as he spoke to the media yesterday. On a track where overtaking is notoriously difficult virtually impossible if you believe Norris he admitted he'd need a spot of magic to overcome Piastri this afternoon."
"It's going to take some magic, some good strategy or incredible tyre saving or something, Norris said on how he can win at Zandvoort. On not nabbing pole position, he said: Just a bummer but not a lot I can do now. My lap was still pretty good, 0.01secs is such a small margin. It is frustrating mainly because it is a track that is pretty much impossible to overtake on, so a lot of my chances are now gone."
Around 45 minutes before the race at Zandvoort, teams completed last-minute checks while the grid filled with personnel. Oscar Piastri secured pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix by 0.012 seconds over McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Lando Norris described the narrow margin as frustrating and warned that overtaking at Zandvoort is virtually impossible, saying he will need magic, exceptional strategy, or tyre saving to win. Haas fitted new components to Ollie Bearman's car, forcing him to start from the pit lane. The race is scheduled to start at 2pm BST (3pm local).
