Christian Horner expected a greater challenge from McLaren for pole at the F1 Dutch Grand Prix, admitting he thought Lando Norris or Oscar Piastri “might have stolen it”.
The Dutchman’s margin was ultimately 0.537s - a substantial gap given the short nature of the Zandvoort circuit.Norris was up on Verstappen in the first part of lap but lost time through the remaining two-thirds.
Piastri looked to be on the pace but struggled on his final lap, ultimately qualifying eighth, 1.3s off Verstappen. Speaking after qualifying to Sky Sports, Horner said: “I thought in conditions like that, the McLaren seems to warm their tyres up pretty quickly, I thought they were going to be a lot closer than they were because in these conditions, a damp track, you need to generate the temperature.
“I thought Lando or Oscar might have stolen it. Then a whole bunch of others turned up as well, so it was an interesting mix.” It was another lacklustre qualifying showing from Sergio Perez in the second Red Bull, securing seventh on the grid.
