Imola, Italy
Seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton has taken pole position for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, ahead of the two Red Bulls.
In a thrilling qualifying session, the Briton posted a time of 1:14.41, just 0.035s ahead of Sergio Perez. The Mexican got the better of this teammate and starts ahead of Max Verstappen, who was 0.087s off Hamilton’s time. Valtteri Bottas, who initially looked like the main contender, couldn’t set a competitive laptime and starts down in eighth position.
Lando Norris looked on course to start on the second row for McLaren but had his laptime deleted for running wide and exceeding track limits. The 21-year-old starts in seventh ahead of tomorrows’ race, behind teammate Daniel Ricciardo – the Australian looked like he was struggling initially only managing 13th in Q1.
