Brazilian Grand Prix Qualifying: Lewis Hamilton Claims Pole Position Ahead Of Max Verstappen For The Sprint Qualifying

Lewis Hamilton

The Brazilian Grand Prix qualifying saw a Mercedes dominance at Sao Paulo as both Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas had fantastic outings. Lewis Hamilton clocked the fastest lap as he clinched pole position from the hands of Max Verstappen as we head into the 20th race of the season. With a new ICE going into this weekend, Hamilton certainly had the pace to show but will also serve a five-grid penalty on Sunday.

A well-executed strategy from Mercedes ensured Hamilton remain consistent throughout the early qualifying session on Friday as the Brit lead the way in all three sessions. On the other hand, Red Bull and Verstappen will be working overnight to find a way and have an equally good sprint qualifying as Lewis Hamilton who currently trails Max Verstappen by 19 points in the hunt for the World Championship.
