Short ‘Qualifying’ results (no penalties):

Sainz, great save.Hamilton and Russell, sinking

Carlos, who finished third in Friday’s standings, turned in a very good performance after a very complicated moment and a lot of pressure. In Q1 I was practically unable to run due to brake problems and had to go almost blindly on an increasingly dry and delicate track. He only escaped the cut once in the first exchange, but he pulled it off without any nerves and set the fastest time in Q1 on the last lap.

What Carlos did was never easy as it was a complicated and changeable track and with a car this big and heavy he could easily overstep the limits of the very fast corner at the end. The following happened to prove that Lewis Hamilton. It was the final time that mattered on the increasingly dry asphalt. Pilots had to do it as late as possible in order to do it faster. And on that final lap, Hamilton went wide at the penultimate corner, overstepping the limits of the track and canceling his spin.

The seven-time champion was eliminated in Q1 (starting 18th). The full-blown drama for Mercedes was confirmed minutes later when George Russell’s car developed a hydraulic problem that prevented him from advancing to Q2 and forced him to start 15th in Saturday’s short race.

Alonso is 7th, but will start from 6th

Fernando Alonso was 7th, but due to Leclerc’s sanction he moved up a position and will start from 6th. The man from Oviedo overtook Stroll (8th, started 7th) but was 0 inches 818 seconds behind Max’s best time. It fell far short of Red Bull’s ‘airplane’ and worse than Ferrari, which was a lap ahead.

In Austria we need to see if the green car can deliver the best theoretical race pace. Sainz will start fifth in today’s short race, aiming for a podium dream for Sunday’s box office. Alonso will do it for the good points.
