Formula 1 | Qatar GP, qualifying highlights [VIDEO]

We bring you the most exciting moments of the qualifying session valid for the Qatar Grand Prix, the third to last round of the 2021 Formula 1 world championship. Thanks to an amazing final attempt, Lewis Hamilton managed to take pole position in Losail, leaving behind the direct rival for the championship, Max Verstappen, and the Mercedes of his teammate, Valtteri Bottas, who appeared less brilliant compared to yesterday's free practice.

Great fourth place for Pierre Gasly, who suffered a broken front wing on a curb at the end, followed by an excellent Fernando Alonso and Lando Norris's McLaren. Seventh, eighth and ninth place for Carlos Sainz, Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon. Sebastian Vettel completes the top ten ranking.

On the other hand, the group of those "eliminated" in Q2 was of a high standard, given that Sergio Perez, Charles Leclerc and Daniel Riccardo, among others, did not make the cut. See you tomorrow, 15.00 pm on Sky Sport F1 HD and on our website with the live text, for the start of this 2021 Qatar Grand Prix.
