George Russell with Mercedes secured pole position for the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix, which takes place at the Barcelona circuit, on Saturday afternoon. For the British driver, this is his third pole of the season, a result that brings him back into the spotlight after a difficult period in the championship.
Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton came in second, just 0.64 thousandths of a second slower than Russell. The minimal gap between the two drivers suggests that Sunday's race is expected to be very competitive from the start.
Third place went to Italian Kimi Antonelli with Mercedes, who continues to lead the overall World Championship standings. A solid performance that confirms the good form of the young Italian driver.
Meanwhile, the biggest disappointment of the qualifiers was Charles Leclerc. The Ferrari driver damaged his car after a crash during the third session of official practice and will be forced to start the race from 10th place at the start.
Reigning world champion Lando Norris in McLaren was fourth, while Max Verstappen in Red Bull was fifth. He was followed by teammate Isak Hadjar.
The top ten was completed by Oskar Piastri, Liam Lawson, Nico Hulkenberg and Charles Leclerc. The results of the qualifying sessions show that Sunday's race in Barcelona is expected to be open and with strong rivalry between the main contenders.
