Visa Cash App Racing Bulls drivers Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar have qualified eighth and fourth, respectively, for the 2025 Dutch Formula One Grand Prix at the Zandvoort Circuit in Holland.

“For the third time in a row, our two cars make it to Q3!” said Guillaume Dexoteux, Head of Performance. ” Isack (Hadjar) got the perfect lap together in his last attempt which puts him on the second row for the starting grid tomorrow.

“It’s a fantastic result for us after a difficult start of the weekend on his car. Liam (Lawson) was solid all way through the qualifying session, beating our direct competitors and securing the 8th place. Tonight, we will study the various race strategies, and our target is to bring home a good number of points.”

It’s the fourth time in five races that Lawson has made it through to the third qualifying (top ten) session.

“It’s good to be in Q3 but, of course, the ambition is always to be starting further up,” said Lawson. “Our speed was very promising throughout Qualifying and unfortunately we went slower in Q3, so there will be some things to look into.

“The tyres are very sensitive here in Zandvoort and getting the balance right with the wind is tough. The track is very physical and it will be important to have a strong start tomorrow given how tricky it is to overtake. The car has great potential and overall it’s a positive Qualifying for the team.”

Oscar Piastri starts on pole with McLaren teammate Lando Norris alongside. Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen is alongside Hadjar on the second row.
