Lando Norris achieved the first pole position in the history of the Madring, surprising the competition favorites. The British driver, who is the current reigning world champion, accomplished the feat on a circuit that had never seen any driver start from the first grid position.
Young Kimi Antonelli finished in second place, having been just 11 thousandths of a second behind Norris. The minimal difference between the two drivers demonstrates the competitiveness of the qualifying session and the level of tension in the battle for pole.
This result represents an important milestone both for Norris and for the circuit, which sees its history rewritten with this historic achievement by the McLaren driver.
