Seven-time defending Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton grabbed pole position for the tomorrow’s sprint race qualifier which will determine the grid for Sunday’s 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix in Sao Paulo.
Hamilton was nearly a half-second faster than Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in second place and will seek to gain some points in tomorrow’s sprint race since he will absorb a five-place grid penalty [for going over his engine part allotment] no matter where he starts the grand prix on Sunday.
