Lando Norris looked frustrated next to a composed Max Verstappen after qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix placed the Briton in second. The Dutchman secured pole with a commanding performance at the Yas Marina Circuit, two-tenths ahead of the McLaren driver.
Norris looked confident throughout practice sessions leading up to today, and with a 12-point lead going into the race, he only needs to finish on the podium to win his first championship. But starting second tomorrow isn't exactly what he would have wanted, as he remains focused on taking the win at Sunday's grand prix.
