Formula One championship leader Max Verstappen edged out Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc on Saturday to snatch pole position for his home Dutch Grand Prix.


The Red Bull driver lapped the rolling 4.2-km long seaside Zandvoort track in one minute, 10.342 seconds beating Leclerc by just 0.021 seconds at the end of a closely contested qualifying hour. Leclerc’s Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz was third, 0.092 seconds adrift, with the top-three drivers covered by less than a tenth of a second.
