Lando Norris reminded Max Verstappen of his abilities as an F1 world champion by securing a brilliant pole position at the Dutch Grand Prix.
The British driver, who is 78 points behind Verstappen in the standings with 10 laps to go, outpaced his rival by 0.356 seconds, silencing the 100,000 spectators who had hoped to see the Dutchman start the race from the front at Zandvoort.
Verstappen, who has failed to win in his last four appearances, will start on the front row alongside Norris. Oscar Piastri was third, half a second behind his McLaren teammate Norris.
Mercedes’ George Russell finished fourth, while Lewis Hamilton endured an afternoon to forget after failing to make it past Q2. He will start Sunday’s 72-lap race from 12th place.
