ZANDVOORT, Netherlands (AP) — Oscar Piastri beat his teammate Lando Norris by just over one-hundredth of a second to take pole position for the Dutch Grand Prix in qualifying on Saturday.
Piastri set the pace at the start of the final part of qualifying for Sunday's race and Norris couldn't quite match it, ending up .012 of a second off the pace as the title battle between the two McLaren teammates intensifies.
Piastri leads Norris by nine points in the standings with 10 races left of the season. Norris has closed the gap in recent months with wins in three of the last four races.
Defending champion Max Verstappen is set to start third for his home race. He's third in the standings but a 97-point gap to Piastri means his title chances are remote.
