Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix qualifying – Start time, how to watch, channel

Formula 1 is back at Zandvoort for the first time since 1985. Here's how you can watch qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix.

Ferrari set the pace in Friday practice, with Charles Leclerc leading a 1-2 for the Italian brand ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz.

Hungarian GP winner Esteban Ocon was an impressive third for Alpine, while Valtteri Bottas finished fourth in the Mercedes as teammate Lewis Hamilton could complete only three laps due to engine issues.

Home hero Max Verstappen was classified fifth but insisted the results weren't representative of Red Bull's true pace.
