2020 F1 Russian Grand Prix qualifying: ‘Horrible’ session for polesitter Hamilton

From a precarious position in Q2, Lewis Hamilton took pole position in qualifying for the 2020 F1 Russian Grand Prix. But is he in the best position for tomorrow's race?

Verstappen didn’t have an answer to the Finn, losing 0.6sec a lap on the straights and dropping over ten seconds behind at one stage before keeping the pressure up in the closing laps. He might not have been a real threat for victory, but second place marks Red Bull’s first podium at Sochi.
