As always, qualifying was full of fun, entertainment and unpredictability right up to the end. In the end it is pole position by Charles Leclerc who finishes ahead of Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz. With the Spaniard and the world champion penalized, he will start tomorrow alongside Leclerc George Russell. We can therefore say it: it will be a crazy race.
Beautiful qualifications! What a Ferrari
The progress made by Ferrari, especially considering Spa, are undoubtedly evident. The F1-75 proved to be an excellent car today, also fast on the straight and ready to have her say tomorrow. She's great indeed too the qualification of Sainz which, despite starting from the rear, showed the improvements that seem to have come with the change of power unit. But be careful not to rush: the signs are certainly encouraging for the prancing Horse, but the race is tomorrow.
No wake
Instead, there is a smell of burning in the house RedBull. Verstappen snatches second position, but will have five penalty positions, while Perez closes in fourth position, but will have to serve ten of penalty. Precisely for this reason, perhaps, the Mexican has chosen not to give way to his teammate. In fact, Verstappen reproached this choice a lot in a radio team stating: “What is going on?". Sainz's third place allows Verstappen to gain a position on the starting grid, but without a doubt one wonders what the relationship between the two teammates is like.
McLaren is there
Finally we saw one McLaren cohesive. In addition to the classic Lando Norris, who finishes in seventh place, is right behind it Daniel Ricciardo. Tomorrow could be a clear opportunity for the Woking team to try and score points on the Alpine, struggling with Alonso's tenth position(who had his time in Q3 cancelled) e the XNUMXth square of Ocon who will have five penalty positions to serve.
Not a bad debut in qualifying
It's a good home debut Williams for Nyck De Vries. The Dutch, called in the morning of today instead of Albon, he finished in thirteenth position, between the two Alfa Romeos of Bottas and Zhou. Not bad for the former Formula E winner, considering his teammate Latifi was excluded in Q1 in sixteenth position. For De Vries, Monza could be a good weekend in which he can try to exploit the power of his car's engine.
Aston says thanks… to penalties
Thank the penalties so much l'Aston Martin considering the great difficulties shown, once again, in qualifying. Hag in fact it positions itself in seventeenth place, while the teammate Stroll does not go beyond the nineteenth square. Disaster also for the two Haas, eighteenth with Magnussen and last with Schumacher. However, both riders of the American team will receive penalties in view of tomorrow's race.
Tomorrow the show
This concludes incredible qualifying, full of twists and above all penalties. For this reason, tomorrow's race, scheduled at 15.00, will be unmissable!
