Carlos Sainz will try to take his first-ever win in
Formula 1 from pole position. The Ferrari driver was too fast for Verstappen in the rain Saturday afternoon. Verstappen is in a sandwich with the
Ferrari's, because in his mirrors he immediately sees
Charles Leclerc. The Dutchman may well hope for help from stablemate
Sergio Perez from P4.
The third row of the grid is all British with
Lewis Hamilton and
Lando Norris.
Daniel Ricciardo, his teammate, was again unable to break through with fourteenth place. The same goes for
Esteban Ocon. The Frenchman will start 15th, while Fernando Alonso has a much better starting position with a P7.
