Norris storms to Madrid pole with late-lap masterclass

McLaren's Lando Norris claimed pole for the Madrid Grand Prix with a 'gorgeous' final-lap run that beat Kimi Antonelli by 0.011s and Max Verstappen by 0.140s, after he had been down the order earlier in Q3. Hamilton could not improve enough to prevent the front three; Leclerc was fifth, Russell sixth and Piastri seventh as the rest of the top 10 followed (Lawson, Colapinto, Lindblad). Sainz and Alonso were eliminated in Q1, with Sainz's 17th place and an ongoing impeding investigation that could cost grid positions. Norris said the lap came from staying relaxed and in the flow, while Madrid's Madring street circuit looked risky but offered a thrilling finale to qualifying.

Russell escapes yellow-flag probe to clinch Austrian GP pole

George Russell claimed pole for the Austrian Grand Prix after lifting off at Turn 9 due to a local yellow from Verstappen’s crash; FIA stewards reviewed the lap and concluded he had reduced speed sufficiently during a single yellow, so no investigation or penalty was needed. Russell’s 1:06.113 beat Leclerc and Hamilton, with teammate Kimi Antonelli aborting a lap after mistaking a single yellow for a double. Toto Wolff praised the lap, as Russell seeks to close a 50-point gap to leader Antonelli.
