Max Verstappen has taken pole position for the first time at the Australian Grand Prix tomorrow, followed by George Russell and Lewis Hamilton in the Mercedes. 

Sergio Perez had a troublesome weekend with a lack of confidence in his Red Bull RB19 during Free Practice 3, suffering from multiple lockouts. Then during Q3 of qualifying, he very quickly beached the car and found himself starting in twentieth.
