Q1 BEGINS!
Green flag on the track, a lot of wind, but the drivers will have to go out and try to get the best possible result in this classification of the Dutch Grand Prix.
The only overtaking after the start
The pole, key
We already saw it in the sprint race, one of the worst in memory, overtaking on this circuit is extremely complicated, even trying to do so has proven impossible for most of the drivers on the grid. Only two overtakes in the top 10, and one was from Antonelli to Piastri at the start.
So the starting position will be key to achieving a good result tomorrow.
Antonelli will seek to mark territory
The Italian had a poor sprint classification, having problems with his car caused by an off-track after his driving error. This allowed Russel take pole and win the Sprint without much opposition.
Has 56 points margin in the championship, but he will not want the English driver to start achieving good results and try to make a comeback in the drivers’ championship. Hence stop his feet It will be your goal today.
WELCOME TO THE CLASSIFICATION!
Everything is ready for qualifying for the Dutch GP to begin at 4:00 p.m.
