Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff is just staring at the screen in the garage. Lewis Hamilton, along with Ferrari's Carlos Sainz, are the two shock knockouts in the second part of qualifying.

"Hulkenberg there wasn't very generous," says Sainz to his pit wall.

The top five is Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, George Russell, Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, who has decided to come out again in his Mercedes along with the other 10 drivers below him on the timesheets.

Four minutes to go in Q2 and the Zandvoort circuit is very quiet.

Not for long, though, as the two Haas cars head out to try and book a place in the top-10 shootout.

Is Lando Norris your prediction pole? The Briton has found more pace in his McLaren to leap above team-mate Oscar Piastri by just 0.009 seconds.

Oscar Piastri is purple in the second and third sectors and as the McLaren crosses the line, he jumps both Ferraris to go top with a 1:10.505.

Max Verstappen can't match the Australian's time, however, and the Red Bull man has to settle for second place, over three tenths behind.

The two Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are the first two cars out on track in Q2. The pair are on the soft compound and Leclerc is the quicker of the two with a 1:11.665. Sainz is finding his Scuderia a handful and mumbles something over the team radio.

Over at Red Bull, Max Verstappen is asking about the weather. "Still rain in the air," says the Dutchman. "That's correct," replies his race engineer.

The impeding incident between Sergio Perez and Lewis Hamilton is going to be investigated after the session by the stewards.

Perez was very annoyed over the team radio after being told he was quickest in Q1, saying he had "wasted a set" of tyres.

Q2 is green.

George Russell beat Carlos Sainz's best time before Sergio Perez steamed through in his Red Bull to clock the quickest marker in Q1 with a 1:11.006.

Sainz's Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc and the other Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton complete the top five.

The Ferrari of Carlos Sainz could be a shock elimination. Time is running out for the Spaniard but with the track improving, the Ferrari man shoots all the way to the top of the timesheets.

However, the RB of Yuki Tsunoda leaps all the way up to seventh place, which pushes Valtteri Bottas back into danger.

Valtteri Bottas has been thrown a rope and the Finn climbs out of the drop zone, pushing Carlos Sainz down into 16th place.

Carlos Sainz is just dangling above the drop zone at the moment in 15th place with a time of 1:12.223, which is 0.120 seconds quicker than Daniel Ricciardo's time in 16th spot.

Sergio Perez is annoyed on the Red Bull team radio, as the Mexican feels he was impeded by the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion, however, reckons he was "well out of the way".

Meanwhile, George Russell says the "front is sliding massively" and he has "no grip".

Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris are the two quickest cars out on track in Q1 so far and now the British pair are joined by the Red Bull of Max Verstappen.

The times between the top four - McLaren's Oscar Piastri is also in the mix - are so tight. Hamilton is just is just 0.166 seconds faster than the Australian driver.

Max Verstappen is the only driver yet to clock in with a time on the softs. Other drivers stranded in the elimination zone are the Saubers of Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu.
