IS all-Ferrari front row in Miamiwith Charles Leclerc mocking Carlos Sainz and takes the third pole position of the season. A very tight qualifying until the end, with Max Verstappen who loses the start at the post with an error in the decisive lap after being in front in the first attempt of Q3. The Dutchman is still in the second row, flanked by his teammate Sergio Perez: the two Red Bulls have found an excellent balance after the difficulties of the first free practice sessions and will be fierce in battling the Reds on the 57 laps here in Florida.
Excellent fifth position for Valtteri Bottas, who also dreamed of the second row before the closing of the last lap by Perez. The Finn put his Alfa Romeo in front of Lewis’s Mercedes Hamilton, who can find a little smile after the blow at Imola. Pierre Gasly will open the fourth row, ahead of Lando’s McLaren Norriswhile Yuki Tsunoda and Lance Stroll they will be immediately behind in ninth and tenth position.
Q2 very excited, thanks to a track that has gone to speed up a lot in the last minutes, making excellent victims. It starts from Fernando Alonso, eleventh by only 32 thousandths (Alpine was aiming for the second row with him). Behind him, in the sixth row, there will be George Russell, victim of a too big Mercedes gamble that left him in the pits after the first attack at the time. Bitter disappointment for the British after the exploit on Friday, which is only behind Sebastian Vettel (who pays a mistake at the chicane), Daniel Ricciardo and Mick Schumacher.
Affects theelimination in Q1 for Kevin Magnussen, after an excellent streak at the start of the season. The Dane’s Haas preceded Guanyu Zhou’s Alfa Romeo, penalized by traffic in the heats final, and the two Williams cars of Alex Albon and Nicholas Latifi. No qualifications instead for Esteban Or with, which irreparably damaged the frame of his Alpine in the PL3 accident. The Frenchman will still be in regular competition on Sunday.
