What time is qualifying for the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix?
Qualifying for the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix is scheduled to start at 14:00 BST on the Circuit Zandvoort. Max Verstappen, the home favourite, is the favourite to qualify on pole position. However, the battle for pole has been more intense in recent rounds, so we could be in for an interesting afternoon. Especially in the predicted rain.
Verstappen and Red Bull Racing will be the favourites going into the race weekend because of their long streak of consecutive wins. They've also won both editions of the Dutch Grand Prix since the event returned in 2021. The Dutchman now has a 125-point lead in the World Championship, and it's already a question of when rather than if. Sergio Perez will be looking to find his qualifying form again as the pressure starts to mount. Meanwhile, Mercedes, Ferrari, Aston Martin and even McLaren will push to try and topple Red Bull's record run of wins.
When will the drivers be in action?
The Dutch Grand Prix weekend will see the traditional format of Formula 1. That means there will be one more practice on Saturday morning. Qualifying will occur on Saturday afternoon, and the race will occur on Sunday, August 27, at 15:00 local time (14:00 BST). The weather forecast for these sessions is here.
