Seven-time defending Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton claimed pole position for tomorrow’s 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix alongside his teammate Valtteri Bottas as Mercedes clinched the front row ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
Verstappen clipped the wall on his final qualifying lap attempt and will start the race no better than the third position depending on what damage needs to be repaired on his car – if Verstappen is forced to repair the car with a new part, he could take a grid penalty for using the new part.
