Hamilton Baffled as Russell Claims Pole at Zandvoort

Mercedes' George Russell took pole ahead of Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc in a tight qualifying session where the top five drivers were separated by just 0.1 seconds. Hamilton, driving the second Ferrari, could only manage seventh place, beaten by Max Verstappen's Red Bull.

Hamilton expressed confusion about the "completely different" Ferrari compared to Leclerc's car, while the Monegasque driver described his lap as the "best" of the 2026 season so far. Ferrari's appearance at Zandvoort marked what appears to be their final F1 weekend before a potential change in their racing program. livefromquarantine.club
