Alpine's hopes for a strong showing at the Dutch Grand Prix were dashed as drivers Franco Colapinto and Pierre Gasly were eliminated in the second qualifying session (Q2). The pair failed to advance to the final shootout for pole position at the Zandvoort circuit.

McLaren continued to demonstrate impressive speed, with Lando Norris topping the timesheets in Q2. Norris navigated the challenging 4.259-kilometer track, known for its 14 corners, to set the fastest lap, signaling McLaren's continued competitiveness.

Joining Colapinto and Gasly on the sidelines of Q2 were several other notable drivers. Yuki Tsunoda of RB, Alexander Albon of Williams, Esteban Ocon of Alpine, and Nico Hulkenberg of Audi were also unable to secure a spot in the top 10, ending their qualifying efforts prematurely. Hulkenberg had overcome earlier issues from the sprint race to participate in qualifying.
