F1: Hamilton takes Abu Dhabi pole position

@AFP

World champion Lewis Hamilton has taken an impressive pole position for the season-ending Abu Dhabi motorsports Grand Prix, while Ferrari’s disappointing run continued.

The world champion who had not had a pole since the German Grand Prix in late July, beat Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas by 0.194 seconds to rack up the 88th pole of his career.

Valtteri Bottas made it to the second but he’ll be starting from the back of the pack due to changing a series of his engine components that triggered grid penalties.

That’ll promote Max Verstappen to the front row after the Dutchman ended up third.

Meanwhile, things aren’t going to get any better in the Ferrari garage as there was confusion on Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc’s final runs.

Still, Leclerc managed to qualify fourth one place ahead of Vettel.
