Summary
Carlos Sainz and Oliver Bearman were knocked out in Q1 at Zandvoort, joining Fernando Alonso, Lance Stroll, Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez in positions 17th through 22nd.
1 second covered the top 17 drivers in the session, with traffic, track limits and tyre warm-up making improvement difficult on the final runs.
Sainz lost one lap to deletion and still failed to beat Alex Albon, while Bearman backed off after appearing to get caught in traffic and Alonso said his out-lap was problematic.
George Russell had won the sprint earlier on Saturday, but the tight qualifying session underlined how little margin separated the midfield heading into the Dutch GP grid shootout.
