Charles Leclerc was fastest from Lando Norris ahead of Sprint Qualifying at the Qatar Grand Prix.
On a pivotal weekend in the Constructors’ Championship, Ferrari were flying in the only practice session as Leclerc beat Norris by 0.425s, with Oscar Piastri in third and Carlos Sainz in fourth.
Ferrari trail McLaren by 24 points in the standings with two events to go and made a strong start at the Lusail International Circuit.
Newly crowned four-time world champion Max Verstappen was only 11th after a ragged flying lap on the softs, putting him behind Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, who were over one second down on Leclerc’s best time.
Sprint Qualifying takes place later on Friday at 5.30pm – live on Sky Sports F1 and Sky Sports Main Event.
