Lando Norris continued his march back to the pinnacle of F1 on Saturday afternoon at Spa-Francorchamps, taking pole for Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix.

The McLaren star pipped team-mate and championship leader Oscar Piastri by under a tenth of a second, with Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen qualifying third and fourth respectively.

Mercedes hotshot Kimi Antonelli took a knock at Spa, getting knocked out in Q1 for the second day in a row, and he will be joined in the bottom five on Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix grid by Lewis Hamilton...again, after the pair lined up near the back in the sprint.

The Ferrari star looked to have eased through with a late lap which put him comfortably into the top ten, but that lap was deleted for a track limits violation at Raidillon, with Hamilton being told the news on his way back to the pits.

Hulkenberg snuck through in 13th, but Stroll finished 20th and will share the back row with team-mate Fernando Alonso.
