HIGHLIGHTS: Relive the action from the final qualifying of 2024 in Abu Dhabi as Norris heads McLaren 1-2

Lando Norris gave McLaren the best chance of securing their first constructors’ title since 1998 in qualifying for the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, claiming his eighth pole of the year, as team mate Oscar Piastri completed a McLaren front row lock-out.

It means Norris ends the season as the top qualifier, tied on poles with Max Verstappen – who finished P5 – but with a better average starting position.

Carlos Sainz took P3 on his final appearance for Ferrari – the only team able to challenge McLaren for the title on Sunday, the Scuderia currently sitting 21 points behind – while Nico Hulkenberg put in a stunning performance to take P4 for Haas.
