Red Bull’s Max Verstappen snatched pole position from Mercedes’ George Russell in the final seconds of qualifying at the Qatar Grand Prix.
Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc took fifth from Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz and Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso. “We did change a bit on the car but I never thought it would make such a swing in performance, it felt a lot more stable over one lap and that is exactly what we need.” “I’m a little disappointed to miss out on pole," Russell said. "So close. I expected to improve on the second lap and had a scrappy out lap, nearly had the collision with Max and went into the gravel two corners before I started it.
“Not the position we were hoping for after yesterday and today but the maximum we could do,” Norris said. “The lap was pretty good. I was pretty happy with it but just not quick enough compared to the others.
