RACE PREDICTOR: Who’ll make the podium as the second half of the F1 season kicks off at the Dutch Grand Prix

Lando Norris claimed a dominant pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix, lapping Zandvoort over three-tenths faster than his closest rival Max Verstappen. But does the McLaren driver have what it takes to make it onto the rostrum at the end of Sunday’s race – and who’ll be joining him if so?
Norris’s lap of 1m 09.673s was a full 0.356s quicker than Verstappen as the drivers posted their final laps of Q3, the summer break – not to mention a chunky upgrade on his McLaren MCL38 – clearly having worked wonders for the Briton.
Oscar Piastri took third in the sister McLaren, while FP2’s fastest driver George Russell was P4 ahead of Sergio Perez, in what was a more positive showing for the Mexican driver in the second Red Bull.
So, who makes the rostrum on Sunday in Zandvoort? Cast your vote below…
