Charles Leclerc will lead a Ferrari front-row lockout into the Belgian Grand Prix after claiming a brilliant pole position ahead of teammate Sebastian Vettel.

Leclerc posted a best one minute and 42.519 seconds around the iconic 7km of the Spa-Francorchamps circuit with Vettel 0.748 seconds behind on Saturday.

“We were very strong and it felt amazing,” said Leclerc, 21.

“We have struggled with the race pace so we need to work on that.”

Ferrari have not won this season, with their last victory dating back to Kimi Raikkonen’s October 2018 win in the United States.

Vettel’s last triumph was a year ago in Spa.

Standings leader Lewis Hamilton recovered from crashing his Mercedes in final practice to take third but was well off the pace of Leclerc.

Teammate Valtteri Bottas was fourth and Max Verstappen of Red Bull fifth.
