Oscar Piastri has history behind him as he prepares to start the Dutch Grand Prix from pole position.
The championship leader stunned team-mate Lando Norris to earn Zandvoort pole by just 0.012s and strike a crucial psychological blow after Norris had dominated the weekend by topping all three practice sessions.
Since F1 returned to Zandvoort in 2021, all four races have been won from pole position, meaning Piastri is the favourite for the win and to extend his championship lead over Norris.
Behind the all-McLaren front row will be Max Verstappen in third after a stewards' investigation for a minor incident, with Isack Hadjar stunning for Racing Bulls in fourth.
Lewis Hamilton returned to Q3 for Ferrari and was an upbeat seventh.

Update: Ollie Bearman, who was looking at a pit lane start as a punishment already, has had the power unit in the back of his Haas changed, so he will therefore start from the pit lane anyway.
NOTE: Grid remains provisional until officially confirmed by the FIA.
