I am a passionate and knowledgeable Formula 1 fan who has watched the sport since age five, watching every single race. Having karted competitively throughout my teens, I understand what it takes to be a racing driver, and every aspect of motorsports fascinates me. I am now studying sports journalism at the University of Gloucestershire with the hopes of one day landing a dream role in motorsport. As well as English, I speak Spanish fluently after living there for some time when I was younger.
The final starting grid for the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort is here. Lando Norris will start from pole with Max Verstappen alongside him on the front row. Oscar Piastri is joined on the second row by George Russell, and Verstappen's teammate Sergio Perez will start the race in Zandvoort from P5. After a disappointing day yesterday and a three-place grid drop, Lewis Hamilton will start the Dutch Grand Prix from P14.
Magnussen to start from the pitlane:
Kevin Magnussen will start the race from the pitlane after his Haas team changed his battery and energy store. He originally qualified in 15th place but is now forced to start from the pits. These parts are not allowed to be changed after qualifying and have resulted in a penalty for the Dane.
Williams starts from the back row after a tough Saturday:
Both Williams drivers start the race on the final row after a difficult Saturday. Logan Sargeant didn't participate in qualifying after a huge FP3 smash. His teammate Alex Albon was disqualified from qualifying after being provisionally set to start from P8 due to a technical infringement. The FIA decided that Williams's floor did not comply with the regulations.
