Norris secures sprint qualifying pole from Vegas GP winner Russell
Lando Norris took pole for the Qatar Grand Prix sprint race over Las Vegas Formula 1 winner George Russell after setting his best time at the first attempt in the final stage. McLaren driver Norris set a 1m21.012s on his first attempt on soft tyres, doing so without the preparation lap that other drivers attempted to exploit. The Briton then touched the gravel on his second run at Turn 2, which prompted an early return to the pits having already secured pole.
012s clear of Sauber's Valtteri Bottas, who could not deliver on the time he'd made up in the opening two sectors and fell short at the final hurdle. Lance Stroll and Kevin Magnussen were also eliminated in Q2. Sergio Perez was dumped out during the opening stage, having fallen short of the on-the-cusp Albon by 0.013s. He maintained a 0.004s advantage over Yuki Tsunoda, who could not find enough time in the final sector to progress.
