After the extraordinary yesterday's qualification, with Verstappen's best time, the time has come to discover the starting grid of the Canadian Grand Prix together.
Verstappen sets the pace
Pole position therefore for Max Verstappen. The Dutchman takes advantage of the absence of Leclerc and he's ready to start from the first position, with Fernando next to him Alonso. "I will try the attack" he has declared yesterday the Spanish rider, who will however also have to pay attention to the second row formed by Ferrari di Sainz and by Lewis Hamilton. Certainly not an easy situation for Sainz, between two world champions, but without a doubt the focus of the madrileño it will be towards the front row and the first square.
Surprise Haas
To open, even a little surprisingly, the third row is Haas. Magnussen he will start in fifth position, followed by Mick Schumacher in sixth. To understand, however, how much the American team has worked, also adapting their car, in the wet qualifying and who knows that they may not be affected in the race. Will try, if so, the attack of the Alpine Or with , Mercedes di Russell who, after yesterday's courageous action in qualifying, is preparing for a comeback race. McLaren closes the top ten Ricciardo and Alfa Romeo's Zhou.
The disappointed ones
The other Alfa Romeo from outside the points Bottas. It's not an easy period for the Finn, also considering the positioning behind his teammate, but redemption can come in the race; just as he will try to return after a long time in the points Alexander Albon ready to shoot twelfth. It will also be a great comeback race for Sergio's Red Bull Perez. The Mexican is undoubtedly the biggest loser in yesterday's qualifying, after hitting the block with his RB18, and is called to a super race to try and help Verstappen. Fourteenth time instead for Norris, followed by Pierre gasly.
The new fund
On the bottom, however, we find some news, obviously linked to penalties. Sixteenth time for Sebastian Hag, followed by Lance Stroll. After how well done in the third of free, in yesterday's qualifying, Aston Martin was certainly the worst team: out in Q1 and with a car totally without grip. Nicholas follows in eighteenth position Latifs, landlord, who stands in front of the Ferrari of Leclerc, called to comeback, and at AlphaTauri di tsunoda, always in penalty for having mounted the fourth unit.
It will undoubtedly be an exciting race and one not to be missed. Appointment therefore to this evening, with the Grand Prix of Canada ready to shoot at 20.00!
