Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium: Ferrari will fill the front row of the grid at the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps after Charles Leclerc was fastest in qualifying on Saturday with Sebastian Vettel second.

It is the third pole position of the Monegasque's career.

On a hot, sunny afternoon, championship leader Lewis Hamilton, who earlier hit a wall in practice, was third. 

He will share the second row with Mercedes team mate Valtteri Bottas.
