A look at Formula 1, and Charles Leclerc has claimed pole position for the Belgian Grand Prix, as Ferrari delivered a dominant front-row lockout.

Leclerc, who is seeking his maiden victory in Formula One, clocked the fastest lap in one minute and 42.519 seconds for the third pole position of his career.

He was 0.748 seconds clear of his Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel in second place.

It was Ferrari's first lockout since the Bahrain Grand Prix in March and the team's 63rd in F1 history, one less than Mercedes.

Defending 5-time world champion and series leader Lewis Hamilton was third for Mercedes ahead of his teammate Valtteri Bottas.

Hamilton has won 8 of this year's 12 races to lead Bottas by 62 points in the championship.
