Leclerc spun in qualifying, then burned the pond for everyone. Russell in the second row – F1sport.cz

Qualification took place in Spain at high temperatures. The track temperature was almost 50 ° C.

In the first part of the qualification, Vettel, Alonso, Stroll, Albon and Latifi were eliminated. Norris, Ocon, Cunoda, Gasly and Chou were not in the top ten. Lando Norris “had time” to advance to Q3, but the stewards erased him due to track limits in the 12th turn. Mick Schumacher, on the other hand, made it to Q3 for the first time in his career.

In the first attempt in the third part, Leclerc spun in the last turn. As soon as he leveled his car, he headed straight to the nearby pits without time. However, Leclerc’s second attempt turned out great, he was the only one to get below 1:19 and gain pole position. Verstappen complained of a loss of performance in the second attempt.

In particular, Russell confirmed the good form of Mercedes in Spain and got into the second row.
