Prediction respected in front of the home crowd, but with a thrilling final part of qualifying. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen takes pole position for the 2021 Dutch Grand Prix, beating Lewis Hamilton by just 38 thousandths. The Mercedes driver was able to make a masterpiece in the last sector, equaling the first half of Q3 of his Red Bull rival (who had a problem at the DRS on the straight), managing to put teammate Valtteri Bottas behind him .
A great qualifying session for Pierre Gasly, fourth in front of the two Ferrari cars of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, but a great magic lap was also done by Antonio Giovinazzi, seventh and really close to the time set by the two SF21 cars. The Italian driver of Alfa Romeo, who is under a lot of pressure from market rumors that see him possibily without a place on the 2022 Formula 1 grid, managed to get behind the two Alpine cars of Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso and the McLaren of Daniel Ricciardo.
