Valtteri Bottas denied Lewis Hamilton his 100th pole position after beating his team-mate to top spot for Sunday’s Portuguese Grand Prix by just seven thousandths of a second.

The Mercedes drivers locked out the front row of the grid for the third round of the season, with Hamilton’s championship rival Max Verstappen a disappointing third for Red Bull, fourth tenths off the pace.
