Charles Leclerc came just a fraction of a second short of regaining pole position. In the sprint race, the Monegasque failed to take the win as well, after Verstappen disappeared immediately at the start.
"It was tricky. We were pushing but at the beginning, we tried to save the tyres." the Ferrari driver explained of his strategy for the sprint race.
There was only a surprise for Leclerc at the start of the race. "I then had a small fight with Carlos. At the end I could only start pushing and got a bit closer, but it was very close between us. But tomorrow is the race and hopefully we can have as good a start as today and put more pressure on Max."
How will the Ferrari drivers cope?
So the fight with Carlos Sainz didn't help Charles Leclerc, so how will it go tomorrow at the Austrian Grand Prix? "I hope we can work well together tomorrow."
