Lando Norris takes pole for Spanish Grand Prix by 11 thousandths

RTP Notícias12 September 2026 at 17:30

British driver Lando Norris, at the wheel of a McLaren, claimed pole position for the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix. The driver secured the prime starting position by a margin of just 11 thousandths of a second.

The race marks the 14th round of the Formula 1 World Championship. It is also the first time the championship visits the new street circuit of the Spanish capital, Madrid.

The pole conquest reinforces Norris's position in the championship fight, in a season where he has been one of the main rivals of the championship leader.

Why this matters

This result is significant for Formula 1 fans in the Iberian region, as it marks the debut of the new Madrid street circuit as a World Championship venue, altering the traditional calendar. Norris thus consolidates his position as one of the main title contenders, following a competitive season with McLaren.
