While Red Bull will be delighted to have Verstappen on pole once more, Perez starting back in fifth with the Ferraris second and third will be a concern. Can the red cars draw Red Bull into a strategic challenge with an extra car in contention?

It's two poles in as many years at the Dutch GP for Verstappen then, who notches his 17th career pole to tie with Sir Jackie Stewart (and move above Leclerc in the all-time pole stakes too).

Sainz did improve to take third away from Hamilton, who slips back to fourth. Perez stays fifth ahead of Russell after dropping his left-rear wheel into the gravel at Turn 13 and spinning across the road, fortunately without hitting the wall on the other side of the track.

A 1m10.342 means it's advantage Verstappen, and he goes 0.021s faster than Leclerc. That's despite not beating Leclerc's first or final sectors - the Ferrari man will be left to rue time lost in the middle sector.

Russell remarked yesterday that he would be "very shocked" if Mercedes was in the fight for pole once again. But the Silver Arrows don't look as though they can be counted out at this stage. Could we see a second pole of the year for the Brackley team?

At the sharp end, just 0.010s between Sainz and Russell at the front, but Verstappen didn't go out at the end of the session. How much more pace does the Red Bull man have up his sleeve?

Just 0.084s split Tsunoda and Gasly in Q2, but it's enough for the Japanese to progress to Q3. A fine recovery after his faux pas in causing a red flag yesterday.
