Verstappen soaks up pressure to claim pole at home Dutch Grand Prix
ZANDVOORT, Netherlands: Max Verstappen claimed pole position for his home Dutch Grand Prix on Saturday to the delight of his orange army of fans packing the stands at Zandvoort. McLaren’s Lando Norris will start alongside the Red Bull double world champion on the front row of Sunday’s race. A runaway leader by 125 points in the championship Verstappen has a perfect record since his home event returned to the F1 calendar in 2021, starting from the front of the grid and winning both races.

His Alpha Tauri team's reserve driver, Liam Lawson, is a last minute super-sub and it promises to be a baptism of fire for the 21-year-old New Zealander. With only three practice sessions under his belt last year he now has to grapple with competing against double world champion Max Verstappen and company at the unforgiving tight and twisty Zandvoort circuit. Add in the conditions, the seaside circuit was hit by a storm early on Saturday with more rain forecast, and it's asking a lot of the 21-year-old Lawson at such short notice.
