After an exciting sprint race, Verstappen secured victory and pole position for the Grand Prix, giving Red Bull their 100th pole in F1 history.
Sergio Perez joins him on the front row, followed by Fernando Alonso from Aston Martin. Lando Norris leads the McLaren team in fourth place, while Oscar Piastri starts in fifth.
The Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are next on the grid, but there’s some controversy with Aston Martin protesting the results due to Sainz’s incident in qualifying.
Unfortunately, Lewis Hamilton had a tough qualifying session, getting knocked out in Q1 and starting the race in 18th place.
