The first Dutch Grand Prix since 1985 will offer a dream front row with the two belligerents for the Drivers' crown Max Verstappen (Red Bull) and Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).
Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes), author of the third fastest time in testing, will have the task of putting pressure on the Dutch star, while Pierre Gasly (AlphaTauri) will have to thwart the Mercedes plans and if possible convert his fourth place into big points.
Comfortable in free practice, Charles Leclerc beat his teammate at Ferrari Carlos Sainz Jr (5th and 6th). THE Alpine byEsteban Ocon (8e) and Fernando Alonso (9th) will want to undermine the only Alfa Romeo present in the top 10, that of Antonio Giovinazzi (7th).
Only 18 cars will be placed on the starting grid at 15 p.m. Indeed, Sergio Pérez (Red Bull) and Nicholas Latifi (Williams) will start from the pit lane. The Mexican opted for a fourth internal combustion engine (ICE), while only three ICEs are tolerated by the regulations over a season. Formula 1.
Sergio Pérez will also benefit from several new elements: turbo, MGU-H and MGU-K, energy recovery and electronics control unit.
As for the Canadian, he will drive with a brand new gearbox following his violent accident in Q2 (38 Gs collected) on Saturday afternoon.
