Norris Beats Russell to Pole Position at Zandvoort The Dutch Grand Prix qualifying session was a masterclass in risk management under uncertain weather conditions.
Lando Norris's pole position win over George Russell was the most obvious outcome, but it was the near miss that made for more fascinating viewing: the frantic scramble to complete laps before the rain came, only to have the skies clear up in time.
The expectation of heavy rain had teams on high alert, with some drivers even suggesting they would have taken a different approach if given the chance.
