Brit Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) won the Formula 1 qualifiers for the Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul. In a changing situation, the seven-time world champion overtook his teammate, Finn Valtteri Bottas , and rival in the title hunt, Dutchman Max Verstappn (Red Bull). Nevertheless, Hamilton will start the race from 11th place.
This was the 102nd best starting position in his career for the 36-year-old from Steven. Nevertheless, it will be difficult for him to reach his 101st career victory in the race, as he will start the Istanbul test ten places lower than 11 due to the change of engine components. Bottas and Verstappen will stand in the first row, and Monaco in the second Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) and Frenchman Pierre Gasly (Alpha Tauri).
In the duel for the world title, seven races before the end Hamilton has two points ahead of Verstappn, which will start the test in a much better position and can return to the top of the table. The race for the Turkish GP will be scheduled for Sunday at 2 p.m.
