Live Coverage of the 2024 F1 Dutch Grand Prix – FP3 and Qualifying!

Stay updated with all the excitement from the final practice session and qualifying rounds live from Zandvoort.

Max Verstappen is back in action at Zandvoort for his home event, the F1 Dutch Grand Prix.

The Red Bull racer has not secured a victory in the last four Grand Prix races, which is atypical for him.

To maintain a safe distance from McLaren's Lando Norris, Verstappen aims to regain his dominant performance in the Netherlands – a track where he has remained undefeated since its reintroduction to the F1 schedule in 2021.

Piastri registers the initial time with a 1:24.176 in his McLaren.

The drivers from both Haas and Sauber teams have taken to the Zandvoort circuit, equipped with full wet tires, for initial exploratory laps in the rainy conditions.

Max Verstappen secured the fifth position, trailing by 0.284 seconds. The current world championship frontrunner, who hasn't clinched a victory since the Spanish Grand Prix in June, conceded that Red Bull's performance was lacking in both short and long runs, leaving him puzzled and seeking explanations.
