Qualifying thriller
Qatar: Qualifying LIVE from 7pm
Excitement after qualifying for the Qatar Grand Prix: pole position for this year's penultimate race on Sunday initially went to world champion Max Verstappen on Red Bull, but hours later to Mercedes driver George Russell!

The McLaren duo of Lando Norris (+0.252) and Oscar Piastri (+0.309) took the second row of the grid in qualifying. Ferrari man Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes and Carlos Sainz in the second Ferrari lined up behind them, with Verstappen's team-mate Sergio Perez in ninth.
