Star breaks shocking two-year long record at Barcelona Grand Prix

Barcelona’s Catalunya Grand Prix qualifying produced an all-British front row, with George Russell grabbing pole ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli—the championship leader—lining up third while Lando Norris starts fourth. Charles Leclerc crashed on his first lap in the final session and will start tenth. Russell seeks to close the 68-point gap to Antonelli after Monaco, making a Barcelona win crucial in the title fight. Behind the top three, Lance Stroll ended Fernando Alonso’s qualifying run by finishing 21st to Alonso’s 22nd, a sign of Aston Martin’s struggle this season. Alonso’s long pole streak is now the third-longest in F1 history behind Schumacher and Senna.
