As far as I understand, I will be in the seat for now - this weekend - and also it depends on Isack's recovery."

Norris reacts to being beaten to Zandvoort Sprint pole
Lando Norris said it was “a little bit disappointing” to qualify second for the Zandvoort Sprint after Mercedes’ George Russell beat him to pole by 0.041 seconds.

⚪️ Russell on taking pole for the Dutch GP Sprint
"It's great to be back here after the break. It's a circuit I love. It needs a lot of commitment. It was a tough end to the first half of the year and I'm really happy to come back. "The lap felt really good. It all came together really nicely. It's always difficult these Sprint Qualifyings with just one shot on the soft tyre. The track always takes a step, the grip takes a step. "McLaren look quick, Ferrari look quick but I'm glad to pull it off when it matted. It's only Sprint Qualifying. The big points on Sunday so I will try to carry this momentum into tomorrow."
