Charles Leclerc cannot get on terms with any of them .

He's 6 tenths of a second behind Lando Norris in the scarlet Ferrari through the banked final corner the 14th and final corner of this racetrack where does Russell go as he comes across the line behind the 2 McLarens and Max Verstappen he goes to 4th okay this is when it's all on the line .

2 minutes to go , pole position at the Dutch Grand Prix up for grabs .

Can Max Verstappen take it once again ?

He's looking for a chance to step forward , and the Dutch driver has has an opportunity all over the curbs there as we attack 90 seconds to go .

We're on board with him .

He's looking for a personal best in the first sector .

It is a personal best , but it's not on terms with what McLaren's been able to manage .

Yeah .

Full commitment through 7 .

Just beautiful to hear .

Just a small lift and , dragging the speed off through that turn .

But , visibly working the wheel in these lower speed corners .

Let's see if he can keep it tidy .

Yeah .

That was actually not a bad drive off this middle part of the lap , but Norris has lowered the lap time possible in the 1st sector again .

Here is Lando Norris who takes it back and then some by 3 tenths of a second .

Is Lando Norris heading to a 4th career pole position , or will it be a first for Oscar Piastri ?

Piastri's a little bit down in that first sector .

We do know there's enough of the middle part and final part of the lap to pull it back , but doesn't have quite the same confidence in that high speed section .

Brides the curb as he runs it down into this little chicane like 11/12 .

Nice little camber change there again to continue the roller coaster ride that is Zandvoort .

Well , Lando Norris looks like he's on the brink of a 4th career pole position in Formula 1 .

Oscar Piastri is trying to join his teammate on the front row .

Can McLaren lock out the front row , or will it be Verstappen ?

No .

3rd place for Oscar Piastri .

Max Verstappen was quicker by about half a tenth of a second , and it's Norris in the box seat .

Russell not improving in the middle part of the lap .

Add it altogether , it should be a step forward for the British driver currently in p 5 .
