The tifosi celebrated in Monza. Carlos Sainz has indeed placed his Ferrari in pole position for the Italian Grand Prix. The Spaniard preceded Max Verstappen (Red Bull-Honda) by 0”013.
Sainz thus signed the 4th pole of his career – the 1st in 2023 – by beating the leader of the championship and big favorite of the race. Ferrari, struggling lately, needed a boost in front of its supporters. It remains to be seen if this will happen once more in the race.
Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) obtained the 3rd fastest time at 0”067 from his teammate. The gaps were therefore very small between the leading trio. George Russell (Mercedes), 4th, conceded 0”377.
Valtteri Bottas led his Alfa Romeo-Ferrari in Q2, but no further. The Finn will start Sunday in 14th position, two places ahead of his Chinese teammate Guanyu Zhou, who failed in Q1.
