MONTMELO, Spain (AP) --- George Russell will start the Barcelona-Catalunya
Grand Prix from pole position on Sunday ahead of a resurgent Lewis Hamilton and
Formula 1 points leader Kimi Antonelli.
Antonelli has won five races in a row to take F1 by storm. The 19-year-old
Italian leads the competition with 156 points after just six races. Hamilton is
next with 90, while Russell has 88.
Russell won the season-opening Australian Open but has seen Antonelli, his
Mercedes teammate, blow past him since.
After struggling last year with Ferrari, Hamilton is on the rebound and entered
this race after back-to-back runner-up finishes.
