Lewis Hamilton claimed his 69th career pole position to break the Formula One record previously held by Michael Schumacher, while Canadian Lance Stroll will be the youngest driver to start in the front row. Stroll, 18, made history with his qualifying run as grid penalties to Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo helped the Montreal native become the youngest-ever driver to start an F1 race in the front row.
