2021 Portuguese GP qualifying results

The Portuguese Grand Prix returned to the F1 calendar amid the COVID-19 changes of 2020. The race takes place over 66 laps of the 4,653-kilometre circuit. In a scintillating qualifying session, Valtteri Bottas grabbed his 17th pole position ahead of teammate and seven-time Driver's Champion Lewis Hamilton by just 0.007s.

Despite qualifying third on the grid, Red Bull's Max Verstappen had a disappointing qualifying session. The 23-year-old Dutch driver would have been on pole had it not been for him exceeding track limits on his first Q3 lap that led to his lap time being deleted. Meanwhile, his teammate Sergio Perez will slot in fourth place on the grid tomorrow. Sunday's race promises to be a thrilling one with Red Bull and Mercedes once again fighting it out for the win.

Further down the grid, Ferrari's Carlos Sainz showed drastic improvements from his outings in Bahrain and Imola as he clocked the fifth-fastest time, ahead of Alpine's Esteban Ocon in sixth. Meanwhile, McLaren's Lando Norris and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc were unable to repeat their heroics of Imola. They will start the Portuguese GP in seventh and eighth place respectively.

Pierre Gasly had another good outing in the AlphaTauri having clocked the ninth fastest time. Meanwhile, four-time Driver's Champion Sebastian Vettel finally got his car in the top ten, having clocked the tenth fastest time. The third qualifying session was a tricky one for all drivers as it was difficult for them to warm up the tyres and get a good lap in. Moreover, pole-sitter Bottas was the only driver to improve upon his Q2 time.
