McLaren front row in Abu Dhabi, Sainz third, Leclerc bad

YAS MARINA (EMIRATES ARABIA) (ITALPRESS) – It is Lando Norris who took the last pole position of the season at the end of qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at the Yas Marina circuit. It is 1’22″595 the chrono that will allow the McLaren driver to start ahead of everyone in Sunday’s race, with the other papaya car of Oscar Piastri keeping him company on the front row, having placed two tenths from his teammate’s time and therefore in a very good position for winning the Constructors’ championship, considering also the last box on the grid for the Red of Charles Leclerc, fourteenth and penalized by ten positions. Third and on the second row, however, was Carlos Sainz, who set a time of 1’22″804 in his last qualifying session in the Ferrari. Fourth was the surprising Nico Hulkenberg, who put his Haas ahead of the new four-time world champion, Max Verstappen, fifth on Red Bull. Gasly and Russell in sixth and seventh on the grid, followed by Alonso’s Aston Martin and Bottas’s Kick Sauber, with Sergio Perez’s other Red Bull closing out the top ten.
