The Ferrari driver claimed his ninth pole of the season by beating Sergio Perez by 0.022 seconds, as his Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen had to abort his final qualifying lap as he was about to run out of fuel.
The lost lap meant the F1 world championship leader was dropped to eighth place, which left Verstappen furious at his Red Bull team.
Lewis Hamilton was also in the fight for pole position but missed out by 0.054s leaving him third on the grid, still marking his best qualifying result of the season, while the Mercedes driver was in the spotlight for carrying a nose stud and getting in trouble. with the FIA.
On the other side of the Mercedes garage, George Russell was the big name to retire in Q2 as he struggled with a throttle problem which meant he could only manage 11e square.
Despite his tough qualifying, Verstappen can still seal the F1 drivers’ world crown this weekend if the results are good. Here’s how:
- If Verstappen wins with fastest lap, Leclerc finishes eighth or lower and Perez finishes fourth or lower
- If Verstappen wins without fastest lap, Leclerc finishes ninth or lower and Perez finishes fourth or lower without fastest lap
Any alternate results that don’t fit into these two scenarios and the title fight continues through to the Japanese GP.
