Norris pipped McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri by just 0.022s to claim his third pole position in a thrilling and tight qualifying session threatened by light rain. It marks the first time since Brazil 2012 that McLaren’s cars have finished first and second in qualifying."Very, very happy," Norris said in parc ferme."Not an easy qualifying, different conditions like that, but always ending up on top is the best part of it all.
Max Verstappen was only 0.046s down on Norris’ pole time as he had to settle with third place on the grid in his upgraded Red Bull.Under increasing pressure to retain his seat, the Mexican slammed into the Turn 8 barriers after spinning off in damp conditions during Q1. A heavy crash for Tsunoda caused Q3 to be red-flagged with just over two minutes left on the clock, but only Ricciardo could improve his time with the session eventually restarted.
