Russell celebrates morale-boosting Dutch GP sprint win

ZANDVOORT, Netherlands, August 22 - Formula One champion Lando Norris secured McLaren's third consecutive Dutch Grand Prix pole position on Saturday. The pole was also the second in a row for the Briton, following his win in Hungary before the August break. Norris now stands a strong chance of victory on Sunday, as the driver on pole has consistently won the Dutch round since it returned to the calendar in 2021, after a 34-year hiatus.

The upcoming race will be the last for Zandvoort's traditional layout, which will be removed from the calendar for the foreseeable future.
