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.
