George Russell wins pole position for the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, setting up the race start ahead of Lewis Hamilton, with Formula 1 points leader Kimi Antonelli qualifying third, according to reports. Russell is listed as taking the top spot on Sunday’s grid, while Hamilton starts from the front row behind him. Antonelli, who leads the championship early in the season, completes the top three times. All three outlets tie the qualifying result to Antonelli’s strong early run and Hamilton’s recent improvement. Yahoo Sports reports Antonelli has won five races in a row and leads the standings with 156 points after six races. Hamilton is second in the standings with 90 points, following back-to-back runner-up finishes entering the event, while Russell has 88 points. The reports frame Barcelona as a key test for Antonelli’s momentum, with the qualifying outcome placing the championship leader directly behind two prominent contenders, including Russell and his Mercedes teammate.
