Lewis Hamilton won the qualification for the Turkish Formula One Car Grand Prix, but due to the engine change penalty he will start from eleventh place. The pole position will be occupied by his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas, who drove the second time, and will be joined on the front row by third Red Bull Max Verstappen today.
