MONTREAL – Sebastian Vettel put an end to the qualifying domination of Mercedes by earning his first pole of the season Saturday at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

The Ferrari pilot earned his first pole of the season with his fast lap of 1:10.240 during Q3, which put him .206 of a second over defending race winner and reigning Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton in his Mercedes.

Vettel’s Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc qualified third and was followed by an impressive run by the Renault of Daniel Ricciardo in fourth. Red Bull’s Pierre Gasly qualified fifth.

There were a pair of incidents during qualifying, the biggest of which saw Kevin Magnussen crash his Haas after contact with the Wall of Champions. Despite the crash, his fastest lap during Q2 earned Magnussen the 10th starting spot on Sunday.

The resulting red flag period to collect Magnussen’s car cost Max Verstappen a shot at a fast lap and prevented him from advancing to Q3.

The other incident saw Valtteri Bottas spin his Mercedes early in Q3, though he managed not to hit anything. He recovered to qualify sixth ahead of Nico Hulkenberg, Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz Jr. and Magnussen.
