Can pole-sitter Lando Norris make his start this time and beat Max Verstappen into Turn 1? That’s the main question that will be answered after the lights go out at Zandvoort as rivals McLaren and Red Bull line up again on the front row.
Norris is riding shotgun behind team-mate Oscar Piastre, but Verstappen (Sergio Perez finished fifth) has no such luck, with Mercedes’ George Russell looking to pounce him from P4 on the grid.
Charles Leclerc was the leading Ferrari in P6, while the Aston Martins of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll filled the fourth row, with Alpine’s Pierre Gasly and the second Ferrari of Carlos Sainz rounding out the top 10.

Lewis Hamilton, who qualified a disappointing P12 for Mercedes, was notably dropped three places for impeding Perez. After other penalties, he now finished 14th.
Williams had an even bigger disappointment. Alex Alban finished eighth on Saturday before his car was disqualified for a technical violation on the ground.
Both he and team-mate Logan Sargent, who failed to qualify after a serious FP3 crash, will start from the back after being cleared to race.
