McLaren Claims Front Row Lockout at Zandvoort for Dutch Grand Prix

Zandvoort, Netherlands – McLaren has asserted its dominance in qualifying for the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix, securing a spectacular front-row lockout at the Zandvoort circuit. Championship leader Oscar Piastri delivered a stellar performance to clinch pole position, with his teammate Lando Norris closely behind, ensuring an all-McLaren front row for Sunday's race.

Local hero Max Verstappen, driving for Red Bull, will start from a competitive third position, alongside Isack Hadjar of Racing Bulls, who achieved a career-best grid slot in fourth. The second row of the grid will also feature the lead Mercedes, followed by a strong showing from the Ferrari duo.

Further down the grid, another Racing Bulls car will line up in eighth, ahead of Williams and Aston Martin's veteran driver Fernando Alonso. Meanwhile, Lance Stroll's Aston Martin will start from 19th after encountering recent issues.

A notable development at the back of the grid involves Oliver Bearman of Haas. Despite qualifying ahead of Stroll, Bearman will commence the race from the pit lane. This decision follows multiple changes to his car's power unit components, necessitating the pit lane start.

The 2025 Dutch Grand Prix is scheduled to get underway at 1500 local time, promising an exciting race day after a thrilling qualifying session.
