Max Verstappen took pole in Canada, part of the eighth round of the F1 season. At the end of a hectic session due to the weather conditions, the Red Bull driver beat the surprising Nico Hulkenberg driving his Haas and Fernando Alonso (Aston-Martin). the mercies of Lewis Hamilton et George Russell complete the top 5. As for Sergio Perez (Red Bull) et Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), they are eliminated in Q2.
Often present this weekend, the red flag quickly appeared following a concern about the Alfa Romeo of Guanyu Zhou. On a wet track, several drivers make mistakes, likeOscar Piastri, Leclerc or Perez. But no real surprise to report in Q1 with the eliminations of the Alfa Romeo of the Chinese, the two AlphaTauri, the Williams of Logan Sargeant and the disappointing Alpine of Pierre Gasly.
With the exception of the Williams ofAlexander Albon, all the drivers start Q2 on the intermediate tyre, before switching to the softs as the track dries out more and more. Having made a mistake on their last fast lap, Pérez and Leclerc are trapped and will not see Q3, just like Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo), the Haas de Kevin Magnussen et Lance Stroll (Aston Martin).
In Q3, Verstappen set the first fastest time ahead of the surprising Hulkenberg, Alonso and Hamilton. While the red flag is once again appearing after an exit from the track by Piastri. The classification does not change finally because of an increasingly intense rain after the interruption.
Continuation of the festivities this Sunday from 7:30 p.m. on Tipik for Warm Up before experiencing the start of this eighth Grand Prix of the season in stride.
