Winners and losers from sprint qualifying at F1's Dutch GP

Formula 1's sprint qualifying session for the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort took place on August 21, 2026, marking the sport's first competitive session in nearly a month. Max Verstappen qualified sixth in his Red Bull, which he described as an 'outperformance' given the RB22 appeared to be only the fourth-fastest car, with the team hoping for improvements after parc ferme restrictions are lifted. Yuki Tsunoda and Liam Lawson were highlighted as notable performers within the Red Bull family of teams, with Tsunoda earning particular praise despite a similar lap time deficit to Arvid Lindblad.
