Oscar Piastri will line up on pole position for the Bahrain Grand Prix, marking the second time in three races that he leads the field off the line.

Joining the McLaren driver on the front row is Charles Leclerc, despite George Russell setting the second-fastest time in qualifying.

Both Russell and his Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli received one-place grid penalties after the team released them into the pit lane earlier than regulations allowed.

Nico Hulkenberg has also been penalized and drops to 16th after stewards ruled that his Q1 lap time should have been deleted.

Max Verstappen will start from seventh for Red Bull, with teammate Yuki Tsunoda securing 10th on the grid.
