Spanish GP F1 Qualification Results: Lando Norris Rebut Pole
JAKARTA - Lando Norris, McLaren's driver, won pole position in the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix Formula 1 (F1) Qualification at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Saturday, June 22, 2024, WIB night.
Norris competed fiercely with the leader of the riders' standings, Max Verstappen (Red Bull), and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).
The 24-year-old was 0.020 seconds clear of Verstappen and 0.318 seconds from Hamilton.
Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) leads ahead of Verstappen, Norris, Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), and George Russell (Mercedes) in Q1. However, that advantage did not last long when Hamilton overtook Leclerc to top Q1.

Verstappen, who is in Q1 in third place, won the lead in Q2 with a record fastest time of 1 minute 11,653 seconds ahead of Norris, Sainz, Oscar Piastri (McLaren), and Leclerc.
Hamilton then right under Verstappen after changing soft tires and displacing four other riders.
In Q3, which leaves 10 fastest riders, it is fiercer and Verstappen still has not been moved from the front position.
Norris, Hamilton, Russell, and Sainz were only less than 0.3 seconds adrift of Verstappen. However, Norris, who at that time only had a time difference of 0.123 seconds, could take advantage of the gap and shift Verstappen from pole.
Meanwhile, the main F1 Spanish GP race will take place on Sunday, June 23, 2024, at 20.00 WIB.
