More, for the first time since Canada forward, is also in front of a teammate Charles Leclerc.

Both Poljak and Danes flew off the track in the last bendwhen they took a run for their fast lap. For both racers, however, it is to be hoped that the mechanics will succeed complete the repair in a timely manner their race cars, with more concern at Williams, struggling with a shortage of spare parts.
It is also worth mentioning half of Renault, because the French failed to correct in the qualifiers bad impression from both workouts. If no miracle happens, we can predict without a guilty conscience that their goal, which is fourth place among the teams, will certainly not be met this year.
