They have the first line completely dyed red: brutal pole for Leclercsecond Carlos Sainz. Behind, the Red Bull lurking… with a Verstappen in trouble. The Dutchman, leader of the World Cup, will start behind his teammate. great saturday for Czech Perez.

He has gotten more rhythm than the Alpine had (huge difference in times with Ocon) and will seek to score more points for the French team. He warned yesterday: “If it rains…”. The Asturian, always with the cane ready.
In front of the Spaniard has sneaked a very fast Norris (5th, watch out for the McLaren) and Russell (6º). Hamilton will start from behind (8th) We will see how much risk the riders take on an exit that is very close to the first corner: Santa Devota.
