McLaren driver Lando Norris will start from pole position in tomorrow's race for the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi.

Norris completed the fastest lap in a time of 1: 41.933 minutes, which was 517 hundredths of a second faster than second-placed Carlos Sains from Ferrari.

Williams driver George Russell had the third fastest time in qualifying, while reigning champion Lewis Hamilton took fourth place through his own fault.

Namely, In the last qualifying session when he had the fastest time, Hamilton went to the box to replace the tires and hit the protective fence, which damaged the car.. Then there was no time to warm up the tires due to which he could not fight for a better ranking.

Daniel Ricciardo, Fernando Alonso, Valteri Botas, Lance Stroll, Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon placed fifth to tenth.

The leader in the general classification, Max Ferstappen, will start from the last row in tomorrow's race due to the punishment he received for the replacement of the drive unit.
