Lando Norris will start the Qatar Grand Prix sprint from pole position after topping sprint qualifying on Friday night, with George Russell joining him on the front row.
The Mercedes driver, who won last weekend’s race in Las Vegas, qualified just 0.063s behind his fellow Briton with Norris’ McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri completing the top three.
Carlos Sainz completes the second row having pipped his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc to fourth, while the Monegasque starts one place ahead of the newly crowned, four-time world champion Max Verstappen.
It was another miserable outing for Verstappen’s Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez, who was knocked out of the first sprint qualifying session in 16th – where he also qualified in Vegas.
Lewis Hamilton and Pierre Gasly will start on the fourth row, while Nico Hulkenberg and Liam Lawson completed the top 10 ahead of tomorrow’s sprint race.
