in the final sprint race of the season with a blistering time of 1:21.012. The Mclaren driver will lead the field ahead of Mercedes’ George Russell in second, with teammate Oscar Piastri completing an impressive showing for McLaren by taking third, <strong><em>reports</em></strong> <strong><em>Damian Hall</em></strong>.</p> <p>“Our target is a one-two. We want to maximise points for our constructors’ championship today, and we’re going for it,” said Norris after qualifying. “We know it’s going to be a battle. Mercedes will be quick, Ferrari will be fast. We’re not expecting an easy one, but it should be exciting for everyone watching. I’m looking forward to it tomorrow.”</p> <p>Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz will start fourth, just ahead of teammate Charles Leclerc. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, already crowned the 2024 drivers’ champion, could only manage sixth, struggling to match the pace of the frontrunners.</p> <p>Sir Lewis Hamilton lines up seventh in the second Mercedes, followed by Alpine’s Pierre Gasly, Nico Hulkenberg of Haas and Liam Lawson of Visa Cash App Racing Bulls (VCARB), who completes the top ten.</p> <p>The earlier stages of sprint qualifying featured a number of surprises. Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso was among the big names to miss out on SQ3, falling short by just a few hundredths of a second.</p> <p>“We just missed SQ3 by a couple of hundredths,” Alonso reflected. “It gives us some hope for this weekend. Tomorrow, we’ll have an opportunity in the race to hopefully score points, and heading into the main race, we still have that possibility.”</p> <p>In SQ1, Sergio Perez’s difficult season continued as the Red Bull driver was eliminated alongside VCARB’s Yuki Tsunoda , Alpine’s Esteban Ocon, Stake F1 Team’s Zhou Guanyu and Logan Sargeant of Williams. </p> <p>Perez’s struggles leave Red Bull with only one car in contention near the front for the sprint race.</p> <p>With McLaren’s strong front-row presence and a competitive mix of Mercedes and Ferrari drivers in pursuit, the stage is set for a thrilling sprint race under the lights in Qatar.</p> <p>Sprint Qualifying Standings (Qatar GP):</p> <p>(1) Lando Norris (McLaren), (2) George Russell (Mercedes), (3) Oscar Piastri (McLaren), (4) Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), (5) Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), (6) Max Verstappen (Red Bull), (7) Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), (8) Pierre Gasly (Alpine), (9) Nico Hulkenberg (Haas), (10) Liam Lawson (Visa Cash App Racing Bulls), (11) Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin), (12) Alex Albon (Williams), (13) Valtteri Bottas (Stake F1 Team), (14) Lance Stroll (Aston Martin), (15) Kevin Magnussen (Haas), (16) Sergio Perez (Red Bull), (17) Yuki Tsunoda (Visa Cash App Racing Bulls), (18) Esteban Ocon (Alpine), (19) Zhou Guanyu (Stake F1 Team), (20) Logan Sargeant (Williams).</p> <div class="post__share-tool addthis_inline_share_toolbox"></div> </article> <div class="post__content-comments"> <section class="post_comments"> <div class="section-title"> <h1 class="">Comments Form</h1> </div> <div id="respond" class="comment-respond"> <h3 id="reply-title" class="comment-reply-title">Leave a Reply <small><a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-comment-reply-link" href="/sport/2024/11/30/mclarens-lando-norris-secures-sprint-pole-in-qatar/#respond" style="display:none;">Cancel reply</a></small></h3><form action="https://www.voice-online.co.uk/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform" class="comment-form" novalidate><p class="comment-notes"><span id="email-notes">Your email address will not be published.</span> <span class="required-field-message">Required fields are marked <span class="required">*</span></span></p><div class="form-group comment-form-comment"><span class="required">*</span><label for="comment" class="label sr">Comment</label> <textarea class="field" id="comment-body" name="comment" cols="45" rows="8" aria-required="true" placeholder="Comment..." required></textarea></div><div class="form-group comment-form-author"><span class="required">*</span><label for="author" class="label sr">Name</label> <input class="field" id="comment-author" name="author" type="text" value="" size="30" aria-required='true' placeholder="Name" required/></div> <div class="form-group comment-form-email"><span class="required">*</span><label for="email" class="label control-label sr">Email</label> <input class="field" id="comment-email" name="email" type="email" value="" size="30" aria-required='true' placeholder="Email" required/></div> <p class="form-submit"><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" class="submit" value="Post Comment" /> <input type='hidden' name='comment_post_ID' value='121770' id='comment_post_ID' /> <input type='hidden' name='comment_parent' id='comment_parent' value='0' /> </p><p style="display: none;"><input type="hidden" id="akismet_comment_nonce" name="akismet_comment_nonce" value="e4f5b9443c" /></p><div class="form-group"><button type="submit" id="enquiry_submit" class="btn" data-id="121770">Submit</button></div><p style="display: none !important;" class="akismet-fields-container" data-prefix="ak_"><label>Δ<textarea name="ak_hp_textarea" cols="45" rows="8" maxlength="100"></textarea></label><input type="hidden" id="ak_js_1" name="ak_js" value="128"/><script>document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() );</script></p></form> </div> </section> </div> <div class="ctb-banner ctb-banner--post"> <div class="container"> <div class="ctb-banner__inner"> <a class="site-logo" href="https://www.voice-online.co.uk"> <svg class="logo"><use xlink:href="#logo-clean"></use></svg> </a> <h3>Support The Voice</h3> <p>The Voice Newspaper is committed to celebrating black excellence, campaigning for positive change and informing the black community on important issues.
