McLaren’s Lando Norris produced a spellbinding late lap to deprive Max Verstappen of pole for the Spanish Grand Prix in qualifying on Saturday. Lewis Hamilton will start on the second row alongside his Mercedes teammate George Russell. Verstappen looked nailed on to start Sunday’s 10th round of the season from the front of the grid. 

But in the last throw of the top-10 shoot-out Norris denied the Red Bull ace by a mere two hundredths of a second. “Today was the perfect lap,” said Norris after only his second career pole.
