Beyond Verstappen’s pole position, which will start tomorrow in the Austrian Grand Prix race, we focus on the Spanish drivers: Alonso and Sainz will start fifteenth and 4th.
Fernando Alonso could not advance to Q3 of the Austrian circuit, which, after Barcelona, shows the little development of the British team’s vehicle. On a circuit with long straights and few curves, just ten, the Aston Martin continues without having a top speed, nor being consistent over one lap, which reduces the options of Alonso who already warned this Saturday morning that the This Sunday’s race would be “hard”, after finishing fifteenth in the sprint.
The Italian team was flying, but not only with Leclerc, but also with Carlos Sainz, who set the best time in Q1, showing his cards and claiming himself once again. He still improved his time in Q2, although it did not help him beat the insatiable Max Verstappen, who took over a first place that he did not let go of until the end of the day. But he did help him improve his fifth place in the classification this Friday and finish fourth, two positions ahead of Leclerc, who has two consecutive poor classifications.
