Alex Kalinauckas and Jonathan Noble review Saturday's Qualifying at the Abu Dhabi GP. McLaren enters Sunday's race as a huge favourite to win the Constructors Championship after locking out the front row, led by Lando Norris' eighth pole position of the season. Jon and Alex break down the potential threats standing in the way between the team and glory, such as Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz starting behind them from Row 2. There's also more heartbreak for Charles Leclerc after a track limits breach knocked him out in Q2, forcing the Monegasque driver to start from the back of the grid post-penalty, a shock elimination for Lewis Hamilton in Q1 after a freak bollard, and Nico Hulkenberg's exceptional performance to qualify in fourth before receiving a three-place grid penalty for overtaking in the pitlane.
