On a slippery course, like a real skating rink, with dirty areas between the walls, pilots having trouble warming up the tires, ‘qualifying’ can be chaotic and surprises can occur. And there was.First, because VerstappenThe pole position favorite has to start ninth for this Sunday’s race, but after that: Fernando Alonso Despite not having the best car one lap ahead, he started second. “Czech” Perez first pole position Ferdinand (second) and Carlos Sainz (3rd) After an error-filled Q3 in which Leclerc (7th) was the main negative protagonist: the remaining nine drivers collided with the walls of Monegasque just before making their final laps and were stopped. I was. Max Aiming for pole position, the qualifying ended with an unexpected result.

Verstappen and Leclerc in trouble

Pilot’s hands counted a lot on such a delicate track. In Q3 Fernando Alonso got off to an unfavorable start with only one set of new tires. The Asturian native had to set himself the goal of putting in a rubber, saving it, and putting in a good first lap with it to attack later. Verstappen, Leclerc, Sainz and Perez had to fight for the lead and he did it perfectly.

In the midst of this greatest tension, this time the Netherlands and Monaco failed. Max slipped too much in his one of the corners and got a whiplash in the fast Turn 4. He saved the spin, then aborted it, and at the last moment he had to gamble on one try. Leclerc also failed when he was painting the partial purple. He braked too much and had to attack with the last set of tires.

Perez, Alonso and Sainz were much more skilled. The ‘Czech’ marked 1’26″841 on the first attempt and was confident going into the final race. Alonso finished second on used tires, just 0.3s behind Perez’s time. Carlos Sainz, after suffering in Baku, is again the best first place, set the third best time at 0.508, could have had a better lap, but on the bench It was enough to spend time in

Leclerc’s spin sinking Verstappen

It should not be final. Everyone was preparing for the final attack. Max Verstappen was still the favorite. It was a turn to take first place and it was worth it. However, Ferrari was in a hurry to put Leclerc on the asphalt, allowing Monegasque to try a few times on that final set of tires. What Max didn’t know was that it would ruin him.

Leclerc did his best from the beginning, but showed another face. It’s a great pilot, one of the fastest and most talented. But at the crucial moment when the pressure is at its peak, he makes a mistake. He has the best and worst abilities. He proved it again. Charles, the same man who scored his two pole positions in Baku last weekend, lost his car on an interchange and crashed into the wall with minutes to go. The Ferrari is a difficult, nervous and unpredictable car in high-speed corners. It’s easy to lose it. Charles knew that, and he attacked too much nonetheless. he failed.

The session was not restarted due to red flags and Max Verstappen had to set the cabin on fire in anger. At this Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix, he started ninth and was left unattended. and his partner “Czech” Perez will thus have the greatest opportunity of his life to attack the Dutch leadership.since he starts first with a better car than his direct pursuers, Only six points behind Verstappen’s lead at the World Cup.

Alonso already second

Fernando Alonso will start second. The Asturian native was not happy with his car, with too much oversteer in the morning’s free practice and being very nervous in the high-speed corners. They tried it in an experimental setting and it didn’t work. Aston Martin has opted to change the settings and return to a more normal car. They flipped the car over and it worked out. One-turn speed isn’t this car’s strong point, but it’s always been there and we made the most of that opportunity.

He finished third in Q2 to secure two games. He risked going into Q3 with only the new soft rubber, but he didn’t even have to. With old tires, he worked miracles. He will start second in the car expected to be the second best on race pace as the track heats up this Sunday. It will be difficult for him to beat the “Czech” Red Bull. For that we need an error from the Mexicans. others, Verstappen, who started ninth, should arrive on an energy drink planeAlonso looking at the podium.

Sainz, 3rd, claim

start in third position Carlos Sainz, hopes his Ferrari improvements will help improve race pace and degradation. For now, he’s sent a powerful message, choking everyone who criticizes him for not performing as he should. Leclerc of Baku. In Australia he was quicker than Charles, but in Baku he showed mental strength, keeping Hamilton at bay, making no mistakes between the walls and giving no confidence. And this weekend, he once again showed his great pride by finishing in his third place in qualifying in Miami. He was not the best in his first attempt in Q3 and could have finished second. He had room for improvement, but he was unable to give the final turn and remained in third place. He got out of trouble. Leclerc Yes.
