MONTREAL — George Russell edged Formula One leader Max Verstappen to take pole position in a thrilling qualifying session Saturday at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Russell and Verstappen drove around Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in an identical lap of one minute 12.000 seconds, but the Mercedes driver secured his spot at the front of the grid in Sunday’s race for setting the time first.McLaren’s Lando Norris finished third and Montreal’s Lance Stroll was ninth for Aston Martin. Seven-time Canadian GP winner Lewis Hamilton placed seventh, qualifying outside the top five for the first time in Montreal.

Charles Leclerc, who won the Monaco GP two weeks ago, will start the race in 11th while teammate Carlos Sainz begins in 12th after their elimination in Q2. After a wild, stormy Friday in Montreal, the mix of sun and clouds made for more favourable conditions Saturday. The rain rolled in briefly before qualifying but subsided. It remained a risk throughout qualifying but didn’t significantly impact the session.
