The reds work on the time on the ride and the results arrive: the Monegasco touches the pole position and Hamilton is fourth (for English the best result of the season in qualifying). A duel is looming with the MC Laren, Verstappen only seventh
A morning dedicated to work on the time on the tour to get the best in qualifications and at the end of an exciting day Charles Leclerc conquers the first row with his Ferrari. It will start alongside the MC Laren of the Unpredictable Lando Norris On the Spielberg circuit, that owned by Red Bull but, however, he sensationally failed in his house with Max Verstappen Only seventh and very polemical with his team so as to define his car “inguidable”. Ferrari instead comes out very satisfied with the results of the official tests, not only for the second half of Leclerc but also For the fourth obtained by Lewis Hamilton. For English it is the best result of this season, since he guided Ferrari he had never managed to qualify in the second row.
Positive signals from Q2
That Ferrari was very fast on the Austrian circuit had been understood in Q2 when the times of Leclerc and Hamilton were slightly higher than those of the Mc Laren despite Maranello’s drivers had used used tires. Then when the Monegasque and English in Q3 were able to use trains of new tires, the detachment from Norris and Piastri has further reduced so much that Charles managed to slip between the two drivers of the leader team (who also hired the former president of Cavallino Luca di Montezemolo among the holders of the holding who controls the car sector and participates in the Formula 1 team), touching the pole position for only 5 tenths from Lando Norris. Obviously the Ferrari pilot is very satisfied: “I am very satisfied, it was for a long time that I had not played a qualification like this; the last time we conquered the front row was perhaps in Munich. Overall for us it is difficult, however, the team is continuing to push, we brought new pieces this weekend; it certainly does not make the difference compared to the others, however, we are certainly closer. However, I am very happy with my lapwe know we have a better car in the race than the qualification for which I hope to be able to put more pressure on McLaren. I don’t have a car to take a tour like Lando’s, he made an incredible ride. Congratulations to him, we hope to give him a hard time. “Kimi Antonelli was unable to go beyond the ninth position with Mercedes.
