Turning back to a vintage qualifying session, Norris, whose only other pole came in Russia in 2021, reflected: “It’s been a while since Sochi, all the way back then. Ferrari-bound Hamilton was happy to be towards the front of the grid as he outqualified his teammate Russell for only the second time this year.“We are slowly climbing closer to the guys in front, it’s really on a knife edge.Joining Leclerc on the third row will be his Ferrari teammate and home favourite Carlos Sainz.
Complicating matters was a sizeable drop in temperature, with morning sunshine giving way to heavy cloud cover with the wind picking up.The action on track though was anything but cool, as drivers scrambled to eke out every last ounce of performance for a Grand Prix won from pole in 24 of 33 races run at the circuit.
The failure to make it out of Q1 left Ricciardo “quite surprised” given the team had made a number of upgrades to the car.
