  1. Max Verstappen is biding his time before heading out as Oscar Piastri flies through the first sector with a personal best.

    You can never count out Max Verstappen, he's been right there behind the McLarens so far.

  3. Final qualifying starts

    Here we go!

    The battle for pole position is under way.

  4. Alex Albon was not happy at all with that Q2 session, expressing his frustration at having "no tyres".

    "Why do we do this to ourselves?" he says.

  5. 'Strong running from Bortoleto'

    Harry Benjamin
    BBC F1 Commentator

    Gabriel Bortoleto is out, despite setting an identical time to Yuki Tsunoda.

    Bortoleto has outqualified Nico Hulkenberg for the ninth time this season and for the fifth consecutive time, really strong running from him.

  6. IN

    1) Lando Norris

    2) Oscar Piastri

    3) Max Verstappen

    4) Lewis Hamilton

    5) Charles Leclerc

    6) George Russell

    7) Fernando Alonso

    8) Liam Lawson

    9) Isack Hadjar

    10) Carlos Sainz

  7. 'RBs are showing great performance'

    The two RBs are showing really great performance, almost identical laps to each other and knocking out the likes of Kimi Antonelli and Yuki Tsunoda.

  8. OUT

    11) Kimi Antonelli

    12) Yuki Tsunoda

    13) Gabriel Bortoleto

    14) Pierre Gasly

    15) Alexander Albon

  9. Second qualifying ends

    Lando Norris finishes fastest in the second part of qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix.

  10. Both Liam Lawson and Fernando Alonso improve and that drops Kimi Antonelli and Yuki Tsunoda into the elimination zone.

  11. Fernando Alonso is 13th and needs to find improvement now to make it into Q3.

  12. Abbi Pulling
    F1 Academy champion on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    George Russell is not improving too much compared to his previous time so far.

    This middle sector is looking much better and he's going to make a jump in improvement here. He goes P6 and four-tenths off Lando Norris in P1.

  13. Yuki Tsunoda's improvement only sees him go ninth quickest and that's unlikely to be enough to see him into Q3.

  14. So currently in danger are:

    11) Fernando Alonso

    12) Liam Lawson

    13) Carlos Sainz

    14) Gabriel Bortoleto

    15) Pierre Gasly

    It's a pretty good lap from Lewis Hamilton and he's also in front of his team-mate Charles Leclerc.

  16. Better from the Ferraris as Lewis Hamilton goes fourth quickest, four tenths off Lando Norris' time, while Charles Leclerc is fifth quickest.

  17. Here comes Oscar Piastri and he is just 0.090s slower than Lando Norris.

    So, so little between them.

  18. Lando Norris is a record breaker as he clocks the fastest lap recorded here with 1:08.874.

    He's two-tenths quicker than Max Verstappen.

  19. Very good, Adrian. Very good.

    I spent far too long thinking up a fox-F1 related pun and failed miserably to think of anything.

    Adrian: So is the shout in Q2 “fox, fox, fox?”
