Oscar Piastri took pole in qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday as his McLaren teammate and standings leader Lando Norris could only manage sixth.

George Russell was a surprisingly strong challenger and took second for Mercedes, .168 of a second off Piastri’s time. Charles Leclerc qualified third for Ferrari, with Russell’s 18-year-old rookie teammate Andrea Kimi Antonelli fourth.
“The others caught up a little bit closer than what | wanted,” Piastri said, “but | still delivered the laps when it mattered, which was the most important thing in the end so very, very happy.”
Russell said being so close to Piastri was a pleasant surprise but played down his chances of fighting for the win in Sunday's race.

Casting director urged Shirley Henderson to ignore age
What was the question again? Sorry, I'm dreadful...\" It's the third time — or is it the fourth? — that Shirley Henderson has said this during our interview. Not that she has anything to apologise for; I honestly can't remember what the question was either by this point. Nor do I much care. It's hard not to feel hypnotised, in fact, as the actor drifts away on a meandering, mesmeric tide of anecdotes, reflections and tangents in her soporific, Scottish lilt.
