Verstappen praises Dutch GP Qualifying turnaround

Max Verstappen will start his home Dutch Grand Prix from third on the grid, overcoming a challenging weekend where he initially struggled with his Red Bull. Despite earlier pace concerns, the four-time World Champion delivered his "best feeling all weekend" in Qualifying, surprisingly clocking the fastest middle sector en route to P3. He will line up behind the dominant McLaren duo of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, acknowledging the difficulty of challenging them but seeing his performance as a significant step forward. Meanwhile, teammate Yuki Tsunoda struggled, expressing frustration after qualifying in 13th position.
