HIGHLIGHTS: Relive the action from the final qualifying of 2024 in ...

Lando Norris gave McLaren the best chance of securing their first constructors’ title since 1998 in qualifying for the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, claiming his eighth pole of the year, as team mate Oscar Piastri completed a McLaren front row lock-out.

It means Norris ends the season as the top qualifier, tied on poles with Max Verstappen – who finished P5 – but with a better average starting position.

Carlos Sainz took P3 on his final appearance for Ferrari – the only team able to challenge McLaren for the title on Sunday, the Scuderia currently sitting 21 points behind – while Nico Hulkenberg put in a stunning performance to take P4 for Haas.
