GP TUSCANY, Qualifying: HAMILTON at the right time before BOTTAS

Lewis Hamilton set the fastest lap time in qualifying and overtook his teammate, who won all three training sessions.

Qualifications for GP of Tuscany in Mugello began in sunny weather, with the asphalt already warming up over the morning 46 degrees Celsius, which could be water to the mill for Red Bull, as we know from experience that high temperatures do not suit Mercedes the most, even though this is more visible in the race than in qualifying.

Q1: Gasly surprisingly dropped out

Shortly after the start of qualifying, both Mercedes showed who will be the owner of the racetrack again, but with an important difference - it seems that the track in Mugello is more suitable Valtteri Bottas feces Lewis Hamilton. The Finn was the fastest in all three training sessions and also started the qualifications faster than his teammate.

It was quite interesting, of course, especially in the background. It looked good for a long time Nicolas Latifi, who in his first attempt achieved a good time and it seemed that he could surpass his teammate for the first time George Russll, but the latter, despite an error in the second sector just before the end of time, still overtook Canadian.

The most unpleasant surprise of the first part of the qualifiers was definitely Pierre Gasly, race winner v Monza, who had plenty of car problems and ended up in infamous company Latifia, Magnussen, Giovinazzi and Russlla.

Q2: Vettel eliminated in Q2 at the Jubilee race

All racers opted to use tires in Q2 soft mixtures, which is also a prediction for a race where a large majority is expected to take place twice stopped in the pits. Soon after the start of Q2, it turned out that Vettl's problems in Q1 they were no coincidence, as the German took everything Q2 before sovereignly and ended up landing in 14th place. The German complained about after the qualifiers manageability he has no particularly high goals for tomorrow.

At the top, they swapped in Q2 Hamilton in Bottas, third place went to Max Verstappen. In the end, they dropped out next to Vettl Norris, Kvyat, Räikönnen in Grosjean.

Q3: Hamilton again in front of Bottas when it is most needed

The current world champion set the fastest time in one of the first attempts in Q3, a difference of up to Bottas however, it was again minimal. Both ranked behind both Mercedes Red Bull Racing, thus Alex Albon well parried Max Verstappn. Given everything that’s going on Ferrari, is a great success as well Leclerc's fifth place ahead of both Racing Points.

Valtteri Bottas he might have been able to turn things around in his favor, but he thwarted his plans Esteban Ocon, which flew off the runway in the last moments of Q3
