The Dutch at the helm of the Red Bull places a perfect ride and gets the best time (result he missed from Silverstone) Putting the Mc Laren of Norris and Piastri behind With the record holder of the world ranking that even risks elimination in Q2. Verstappen was facilitated by the wake of teammate Yuki Tsunoda, an element that was decisive to precede Mc Laren. For Max also the new record of the Monza track.
Ferrari well in half
A pinch of disappointment in the Ferrari house. Leclerc He had probably deluded himself that he could earn the front row given the time of free practice, not only those of Friday but also that of the morning before the officers. Instead the Monegasque must be satisfied with the second row And he will have to invent something for the race as he did last year when he mocked everyone with a single stop and made the Ferrarist people crazy. About fans 350,000 spectators are expected for the race in Monzait will be a red wave that will try to drag Maranello’s machines beyond its limits.
