Bottas’s pole was his third of 2020 and an 11th in 11 races this season for Mercedes but it looked in the balance right to the end, when the Finn pulled out a big effort to beat Hamilton by 0.256. “Going around behind the safety car in these conditions is going to be tough,” said Hamilton of the low temperatures and the problems of getting heat into the tyres.Verstappen said his car had started understeering just at the key moment.
Britain’s Lando Norris will line up eighth for McLaren, with team mate Carlos Sainz 10th and Sergio Perez in between for Racing Point.
