Hamilton, Leclerc triumphant and Verstappen, Russell dominant: Who won F1's 2019 qualifying battles?

There aren't many better ways to gauge the true talent of a Formula 1 driver than their qualifying performances.

Robert Kubica look away now. The Pole qualified behind rookie Williams team-mate George Russell in all 21 grands prix this season and only twice finished ahead of the Briton in races where both saw the chequered flag - although one was Williams' sole point score in Germany.

Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas were tied on five pole positions in 2019, but the six-time world champion's overall record was strong, while Sebastian Vettel could not get the better of Ferrari newcomer Charles Leclerc.

Check out the full results below, with only qualifying sessions which both drivers in a team participated in counting.
