Lando Norris celebrated his maiden Formula One pole and gave his McLaren team their first since 2012 in a stunning outcome to Saturday's qualifying for the Russian Grand Prix. Norris is joined on the front row by the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz, his former teammate, with Lewis Hamilton starting on the second row in his latest attempt at reaching 100 wins.

Hamilton was looking good for pole after topping the timesheets in Q1 and Q2, but he then suffered late drama with three minutes left of Q3 when he hit the pit wall requiring a hastily fitted new front wing to his damaged Mercedes.
