Lewis Hamilton handed surprise backing ahead of Dutch GP

Lewis Hamilton will start from row three of the grid at Zandvoort - can he still win the Dutch Grand Prix?

Lewis Hamilton has been deemed the favourite to win the Dutch Grand Prix, despite his low starting position on the Zandvoort grid.

Hamilton endured a difficult qualifying session on Saturday and could only produce the fifth-fastest lap, securing a spot on the third row.

The seven-time champion will line up ahead of team-mate Charles Leclerc on the grid, with McLaren's Lando Norris commencing the race from pole position.

Hamilton noted after qualifying that he had more faith in the abilities of his car in race trim, but will nevertheless have a tough time getting through the cars ahead.

RacingNews365 asked you, the fans, who you believe will prevail at Zandvoort - with 32 per cent believing Hamilton will come out on top.

Pole-sitter Norris was declared second favourite, while Mercedes' George Russell came in third with almost 23 per cent of the vote.
