Lewis Hamilton gets pole position in the Qatar Grand Prix, third from last in the Formula 1 World Championship. The British Mercedes driver, lapping in 1'20 '' 827, precedes his rival for the title Max Verstappen by almost half a second.

Third Bottas, next to him in the second row Pierre Gasly on Alpha Tauri.

Seventh time for Carlos Sainz's Ferrari behind Lando Norris. Disappoint Leclerc and Sergio Perez who can't even reach Q3: the Ferrari driver will start 13th, the Red Bull driver 11th.

Yet another heart-pounding duel between the two rivals for the world title promises to be, with Hamilton and Verstappen starting side by side. The Dutchman has a 14-point lead over the British.
