Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton celebrates after qualifying in pole position at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Imola, Italy April 17, 2021. — Reuters pool picROME, April 17 — Lewis Hamilton celebrated his 99Formula One pole position after seeing off Red Bull’s Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen in qualifying for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola today.
Hamilton did enough with his first flying lap of one minute 14.411 seconds, but Perez came close at the end with an effort only 0.035 slower. It was the first time Verstappen had been outqualified by a team mate in regular conditions since Australian Daniel Ricciardo was alongside at Red Bull in 2018.
Hamilton’s team mate Valtteri Bottas, on pole at Imola last November and fastest on Friday, qualified a disappointing eighth—leaving Hamilton exposed in tomorrow's race with the Red Bulls also on different tyre strategies.“Anything can happen, we are on a different strategy to Lewis and Max,” said Perez. “It is going to be interesting, see what we can do.”
