    Mercedes's George Russell has been promoted to pole position at Formula One's Qatar Grand Prix after stewards gave Red Bull's Max Verstappen a one-place grid drop for driving unnecessarily slowly during qualifying


    Four-time world champion Verstappen had been celebrating a first pole in five months...and didn't think there was much in the incident that caused his penalty.
