During qualifying for the Grand Prix at Zandvoort, Lando Norris set the second fastest time. Max Verstappen will start Sunday's race from first place, but the Briton if still very happy with his second place.
"Good. I'm happy still. P2 was a good result in these kinds of conditions," the McLaren driver said. "Every now and then you hope Max makes a mistake, but he doesn't, so frustrating in a little way. But I'm very happy. The team did a good job. It was a chaotic qualifying and another P2," Norris concluded.

All weekend, Norris has been making things difficult for Verstappen. In the end, though, the RB19 proved too fast for the English driver's papaya-coloured car.
"The first half of the [final] lap was mega but the second half was probably one of the worst second halves I've done. So it peaked early on but I really enjoy these conditions," the McLaren driver said.
