Q2 – Norris
During the breakout between the first and second quarters, it was interrupted for a few minutes to allow the Marshal to clear loose gravel at turn 12, the clouds seemed to dim, and when the green light opened at the end of the pit lane, the rain had arrived.
His engineer told Verstappen that Verstappen told the remaining 15 drivers to get some initial Q2s on the board with soft tires – Norris got the fastest speed from Piastri, Alonso, Alonso, Alonso, Stroll, Hadjar and Bearman's 1M 14.890, and his engineer told Verstappen that it was the best condition. ”
Russell is the last top ten mentioned Verstappen, Lawson and Leclerc after these runs, which has led Hamilton, Seinz, Bautletto, Antonelli and Colapinto to remove lap times that exceeded the track limit in round 9.
In the second run, Alonso and Stroel left early and involved a large queue between competitors to get out of the pit, as both Hamilton and Anthony missed the third quarter cuts and were very disappointed with the card.
“Every time, every time,” No. 12 Hamilton lamented on the radio, Antonelli was equally frustrated after finishing No. 11, but then dropped to No. 15 due to illegal track restrictions. Bearman, Sainz and Colapinto are three other drivers who dropped out of school.
Norris remains Piastri's fastest, although McLaren drivers haven't improved from Stroll, Russell, Alonso and Leclerc, while Verstappen squeezes out the third quarter around the racing bulls of Hadjar, Lawson and Bortoleto.
Elimination: Bearman, Sainz, Hamilton, Colapinto, Antonelli
