OFFICIAL GRID: Who’s where in the Netherlands as Perez starts from pit lane
The full official starting order for Sunday's 2026 Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort.
World Champion Lando Norris is on pole for the Dutch Grand Prix, but the McLaren man will have both Mercedes in close company when the lights go out, having narrowly beaten George Russell and Kimi Antonelli in Qualifying.
Oscar Piastri lines up fourth in the second McLaren, ahead of the Ferrari duo of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Max Verstappen is seventh on the grid for his home race, with his stand-in Red Bull team mate Liam Lawson an impressive eighth, barely a tenth down on the Dutchman.
Gabriel Bortoleto gives Audi another top-10 start in P9, with Racing Bulls rookie Arvid Lindblad completing the front five rows. His temporary team mate, Yuki Tsunoda, starts a very respectable 12th for his first Grand Prix outing in 2026 machinery.
The only pit-lane starter is Sergio Perez, whose Cadillac had set-up changes after Qualifying following his P22 result.
