There was no mistaking Lando Norris' despondency after qualifying sixth for the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Today's post-qualifying press conference with Oscar Piastri, George Russell and Charles Leclerc.

It's great to see Carlos up into Q3. He's progressing every race weekend and there's more to come from him.

Following the post-session penalty, we will start P3 and P5 tomorrow. That still gives us a good chance of fighting for the podium.

George Russell and Kimi Antonelli both drop one grid position for entering the fast lane in the pit lane before the re-start time had been confirmed.

Oscar did a great job to get his second pole position and the team's first in Bahrain.

Overall it's a great result for the team, which is a nice reward and testament to all the hard work behind the scenes in recent weeks at Enstone and Viry.

We would like to be higher up the grid than P7 and P10.

We saw a far more uncertain and closely contested session than had been expected.

Today's three qualifying sessions were quite chaotic for everyone because these cars are very sensitive to the wind and to track temperature.

We need to learn and reflect on this session and come back stronger tomorrow.

It was a very disappointing qualifying; we didn't maximize our performance.

Oscar Piastri storms to pole in Bahrain as teammate Lando Norris can only manage sixth, George Russell joins the Australian on the front row.

Times from today's qualifying session for the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.

Oscar Piastri leaves rivals for dust, outpacing his McLaren teammate by 0.668s as lack of grip and blustery wind has rivals struggling.
