Oscar Piastri takes sprint pole, Colapinto to start 20th | OneFootball

Oscar Piastri secured the pole position for the sprint race of the Qatar Grand Prix, as part of the 23rd round of the Formula 1 championship. George Russell will start second and Lando Norris third. The Argentine Franco Colapinto did not make it past SQ1 and will start in the last position on Saturday.

The Formula 1 championship has entered its final stretch with the qualifying for the last mini race of the year, where 8 points will be contested, crucial for the championship's outcome. Verstappen faced a setback during SQ3, went off track, and had to make a last lap against the clock, far from reaching the top positions. Piastri was the most consistent throughout the qualifying, although he fought for the pole until the last moment with Russell.

Meanwhile, the Argentine Franco Colapinto, who had already faced issues in the only free practice session, found no answers in the car and ended up in the last position. His teammate, Pierre Gasly, also had a poor test and will start 19th, behind Hamilton, Lawson, and Stroll, who did not make it past the first cut.

The sprint race will take place this Saturday from 11, in pursuit of 8 points that could determine the future of the championship, and the qualifying for Sunday's race will be held at 15.
