Racing Point’s Lance Stroll took a sensational maiden pole position in a chaotic wet qualifying session at the Turkish Grand Prix. “I can’t really put it into words right now,” Stroll said. “We did the best we could and that was as fast as we could go,” Hamilton said. Bottas added: “Couldn’t keep the temperature or create a temperature in the tyres and it’s been the story for us all weekend. “The tyre is the only thing connecting the car to the ground and if you can’t create the grip from the tyres, it doesn’t matter what car you have. When told the gap to Verstappen at the end of second qualifying, Leclerc said incredulously: “We are six seconds off?”.
