Hamilton said: “Three Brits in the top three is incredible. George did such a great job. We didn’t expect to be on the front row this weekend. This is huge for our team.
“The car felt great, it was just about getting a tyre temperatures in the right place.
“There was still time left on the table, which George managed to find, but with the conditions we can work together to keep Lando behind.”
Norris admitted he had made a mistake which forced him to abort his final lap – he was in the pits when Russell and Hamilton secured the front row.
Norris said: “I’m happy with P3. Three Brits lock out the top three, so pretty cool here. Good laps by George and Lewis both. They did an excellent job.
“A little mistake on my part at the end but P3 is still good.” (BBC)
