Dutch Grand Prix: Will Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen clash again?
Both men were positively buzzing after their latest showdown as Verstappen edged out Hamilton for pole position by just 0.038 seconds.
"People think you have more pressure at a home grand prix but it is very enjoyable," Verstappen said. "In F1, you always have to deliver, so from that side it doesn't really change. And when you cross the line and see people having the time of their lives in the grandstand, it is just amazing to see."
Digging into the detail of where Verstappen had the advantage over Hamilton, the main area was Turn Three. Hamilton felt that the engine problem that cost him all but one flying lap in second practice on Friday had also hindered him. Verstappen, then, starts as favourite for a race in which overtaking will be tough and mistakes will be punished. At least one safety-car period seems likely - there have been red flags in all sessions so far.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said on Friday that he was "working hard" to get a seat for their reserve driver Alexander Albon, who was dropped from Red Bull last year, and that both Williams and Alfa had expressed in interest. "Albon is a driver who deserves his seat in F1," Wolff said, "but it's tricky to have a 100% Red Bull driver with a Mercedes power-unit. So, happy to work with him as long as they let him free from his Red Bull contract."
