Rainy weather wrecked havoc in the qualifying session for tomorrow’s 2021 Belgian Grand Prix as Red Bull’s Max Verstappen claimed pole position over a surprising second-place finish from Williams’ George Russell with Mercedes’ seven-time defending Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton starting the race in third place.
McLaren’s Lando Norris crashed at the beginning of the session and did not record a time and was placed ninth but will start in 14th position tomorrow after receiving a five-place grid penalty for a new gearbox.
