Norris Secures Pole Position at Italian Grand Prix, Eyes Championship Chase

Posted : 31 August 2024

Lando Norris clinched pole position for the Italian Grand Prix on Saturday, putting himself in an excellent position to close the gap on Max Verstappen in the Formula One championship. Norris, who is currently trailing Verstappen by 70 points, achieved a lap time of 1:19.327, securing the top spot alongside McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. Verstappen, representing Red Bull, finished nearly seven-tenths of a second behind in seventh place.

 

This marks Norris’s fourth pole of the season and follows his impressive victory at the Dutch Grand Prix, where he finished nearly 23 seconds ahead of the reigning champion Verstappen. The strong performance by both Norris and Piastri is promising for McLaren, who are now just 30 points behind Red Bull in the constructors' championship.

 

On the second row of the grid, George Russell will line up for Mercedes alongside Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who is aiming to impress in his home Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton, also of Mercedes, will start ahead of Verstappen, having secured a position just 0.509 seconds faster than the Red Bull driver.

 

In other notable news, rookie Franco Colapinto will make his F1 debut for Williams, replacing the struggling Logan Sargeant. The 21-year-old Argentine, the first from his country to race in F1 in over two decades, will start in 18th position after being eliminated in Q1.
