F1 qualifying results: Max Verstappen takes Qatar GP pole
Max Verstappen secured pole position for the Grand Prix in Qatar, with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton starting behind him. The qualifying session, divided into three segments, saw five cars eliminated in Q1 and Q2 before the top-10 shootout in Q3. This sprint weekend format determines the grid for Sunday’s race and does not affect Saturday’s sprint event. Verstappen initially set the pace, but his time was surpassed by Fernando Alonso and Charles Leclerc, before Lando Norris’s lap was deleted for exceeding track limits. Verstappen ultimately took pole with a time of 1m25.007s.
