On the other hand, Mercedes’ rivals- Ferrari are going through a rough patch, even though this track is considered to be the home of Ferrari, Sebastian Vettel humiliatingly got eliminated in Q1.

His teammate Charles Leclerc didn’t take long to join him in the paddock, as he got out in Q2. Meanwhile, Red Bull just missed being in the top tier, as Max Verstappen finished at P5 and Alex Albon at P9.

McLaren looks strong as Carlos Sainz finished at P3 and has a good shot of acing a podium, his teammate is also at P6, a decent position to start from.

This is the last event where Williams will be looked after by the family. However, their sorrows continued today too, as both George Russel and Nicholas Latifi will start from P19 and P20.
