Lewis Hamilton can clinch the 2020 world championship at the Turkish Grand Prix, but will have to do so from the unfamiliar position of sixth on the grid after being powerless to stop Lance Stroll from claiming a first pole position of his career.

The Racing Point driver conquered the wet conditions that gripped Saturday’s qualifying session, with the Canadian pipping Max Verstappen to pole, with Stroll’s teammate Sergio Perez following closely in third.

It proved an uncharacteristically poor session for this year’s world champions in Mercedes, with Hamilton struggling his way to sixth behind the second Red Bull of Alex Albon and Renault’s Daniel Ricciardo.

But his only remaining title rival in teammate Valtteri Bottas could only manage ninth place on the grid, and with the Finn needing to beat Hamilton at the very least, the advantage is with the six-time world champion as he bids to tie Michael Schumacher’s all-time record of seven F1 titles.

Yet with the Istanbul Park circuit proving the most unpredictable of the calendar so far after a recent track resurfacing and cold temperatures, no one knows what is in store on Sunday.
