So far, so good for Red Bull's Max Verstappen at his home race after he grabbed pole position in front of an ecstatic crowd at Zandvoort on Saturday afternoon.
The Dutchman had topped final practice by a full half second ahead of Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas and although his margin was a lot tighter than that in qualifying – he was just 0.038 ahead of Lewis Hamilton – what mattered for the thousands of orange clad fans in the grandstands was that their man was on pole.
