Charles Leclerc beat Max Verstappen to claim a dramatic pole position for Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix.

The early world championship leader produced a blistering final lap to pip his title rival to top spot by only three-hundredths of a second after an electric qualifying session at the revamped Albert Park circuit in Melbourne.

It is Ferrari’s first pole position in Australia - where F1 have been unable to visit for three years due to Covid-19 - since Kimi Raikkonen led the grid way back in 2007, while it’s a second already for Leclerc this season after he also topped the standings in Bahrain on opening weekend, going on to win that race before being narrowly bested by Verstappen in another fascinating duel
