F1 starting grid: Valtteri Bottas claims pole in qualifying at Turkish Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton penalized 10 spots

Final starting grid results: Lewis Hamilton had the fastest time, but an engine penalty means he has to take a 10-position penalty and will start 11th on Sunday. Valtteri Bottas finished second behind Hamilton and will take the pole position for the first time since the Portugese Grand Prix back in May. Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly will join him on the front row.

Stage 2 qualifying results date: The second stage concluded and Sebastian Vettel, Esteban Ocon, George Russell, Mick Schumacher, and Carlos Sainz, Jr. were all eliminated and slot into 11-15 in the starting grid. Lewis Hamilton once again had the fastest time and put some distance between himself and No. 2 Valtteri Bottas heading into the final stage of qualifying.

Stage 1 qualifying results date: The first stage is a wrap and Daniel Ricciardo, Nicholas Latifi, Antonio Giovinazzi, Kimi Räikkönen, and Nikita Mazepin were eliminated. Lewis Hamilton had the fastest time around the track, edging out Max Verstappen by .007 seconds in the first stage of qualifying.
