<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Chilly Carlos in Mexico </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mexico is know for its chillies and ‘Chilly’ Carlos certainly did spice it up. After a Ferrari 1-2 in US GP, it was almost a 1-2 finish here too. However Charles could not keep the lead under pressure from Lando and eventually had to settle for P3. He would be a bit disappointed as he could not get a good qualy start nor hold on to the P2 position. It was still a good haul of points for Ferrari and they are now second in the Contructors, pushing Red Bull to the third position. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Carlos did everything as expected. Mexico has a long straight and the person behind generally gets a good slip stream. As the race started Max actually went ahead of Carlos. However Carlos kept at it and lunged down at the first opportunity to get the lead. From then it was no looking backwards. Ferrari had a solid race pace and Carlos managed it well in the fresh air. This is a good way for him to sign off from Ferrari with still 4 more races to go. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lando and Max tussle in Mexico</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The two title contenders were at each other again in Mexico. However the FIA decided that they will not let Max get away this time and was given two 10 second penalties for pushing Lando off the track and then trying to gain an unfair advantage. While Max still has a comfortable lead in the Championship he is not comfortable with the car at all. He still looks better than his team Checo who despite his home race struggled to get points. Oscar had a race to forget but still would take the P8 finish. McLaren is now in a tight battle with Ferrari and Red Bull for the Constructors and all three teams would be working hard for the final four races. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mercedes did a decent job with Lewis finishing P4 and George P5. It was a great day for HAAS and especially K-Mag who finished P7 and Hulkenburg P9. Stroll got the final point at P10. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ferrari dominance : LeClerc shines in US </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Charles LeClerc recently celebrated his 27th birthday. When asked what he would like as a birthday gift, he said a win on Sunday would be nice. This is exactly what he got. Ferrari while not having good Quali pace certainly looked better in Race mode. While the entire focus was on Lando and Max, Ferrari quietly built a strong case for themselves. Starting from P4, Charles took the lead on first turn as Lando and Max squabbled in the first row. From then onwards there was no turning back. Driving in fresh air throughout the race LeClerc kept the pace and neither Max in Red Bull or Lando in McLaren could catch up to him. This is certainly one of the unexpected win and he relish his birthday gift a lot. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not to be outdone even Carlos Sainz had a great weekend. There was hardly much to show in the practice session but Carlos got a P5 in Sprint Quali and finished P3 in the Sprint. Then for the main race he qualified P3 and finished P2, while overtaking Max. He would rue his chances of race win but would be very happy with a Ferrari 1-2. Ferrari are just 8 points behind Red Bull in the Constructors and it would be very embarassing for Red Bull to finish third in Constructors while Max wins the World Championship. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Max and Lando at each other in US </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the Sprint Quali and Race it seemed like the Max of the first half of the season was back. He found his mojo, easily taking Pole for Sprint and then winning the Sprint easily, just like the good old days. However that was not the case to be for the main race. He had to abort the final lap in Q3 but still managed to start from the front row. As the race started he got ahead of Lando but then the Ferrari of LeClerc went past everyone to take the lead. Surprisingly Max did not have the race pace to catch up to LeClerc. In fact he kept losing time to LeClerc and eventually Sainz went ahead with an undercut. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However it was the fight with Lando for the final podium position that got everyone’s attention. Both the drivers went hard at each other but Lando was unable to overtake Max despite having better pace. Eventually did he overtake Max but only after going off the track, when Max went off the track too. Still it was Lando who the 5 seconds penalty and had to settle for the P4 position. The fight between them is very much on, although realistically the gap is too big to be covered in the last 5 races. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Both their teammates had races to forget. Oscar drove average at best and finished P5. Checo even worse with a P7 finish. Lewis also had a weekend to forget as he spun into gravel while starting from the pit lane. His team mate George also started from the back but managed to recover to a good P6 position. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rookies had their moment of sunshine. Lawson in his first foray for RB this season managed to score points at P9. Colapinto finished in the P10 position while it was another strong performance by Hulkenburg with P8 finish. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">LeClerc : King of Monza </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No one had expected this to happen. Ever since the home win for LeClerc at Monaco Ferrari have been on a backfoot and really struggled with the car pace. LeClerc has mostly been disappointed after the race and the standard statement is that there is a lot of work to be done on the car. Monza, the home race for Ferrari, was where they got a lot of upgrades and specially a new ultra-slim back wing. All this apart from a new race suit for the drivers in Carbon black and a slight change in livery. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The practice sessions were good and they were in the mix with the Mercedes and the Red Bulls. LeClerc started P3 and Carlos P5. At the race start Oscar pipped Lando and the Charles overtook him to secure P2. After the first pit stop LeClerc found himself behind Lando again. However Ferrari decided to go for only one pitstop as compared to two for the McLarens. LeClerc worked his magic and made the 1 pit strategy work somehow and winning the race. Carlos couldn’t do the same but still finished P4. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">McLaren woes at Monza </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">McLaren were actually not that bad. It is just that LeCLerc pulled off a stunner by making a one-stop strategy work. Still they would be disappointed. Lando starting from pole was ahead at the first turn but then Oscar pulled off a great move to secure the race lead. In all of this LeClerc got ahead of Lando but Lando got the second position back after the first pit stop. The McLarens soon had a second pit-stop too but the Ferraris did not and that made all the difference. This was a great opportunity for McLaren to come equal to the Red Bull, something which was unthinkable a few months ago. Now they are still 10 points behind and with 8 races to go. McLaren has to put their best if they want to win the championship. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Red Bull disaster at Monza </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Red Bull had the third or fourth fastest car and it showed. Both Max and Checo qualified a lowly P7 and P8. From then it was just a recovery race with Max finishing P6 and Perez P8. While there is a big gap between Max and Lando, the Constructor’s battle is truly on and Red Bull literally needs to change the enitre car, according to Max. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mercedes showed promise but it did not convert into race result. Lewis did a decent job to finish P5. George had a bad start and he finished P7. Albon drove decently to finish P9. Kevin Magnussen got the final point at P10 but he also got a one race ban for accruing too many penalty points. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">King Charles of Monaco </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally the curse is broken. Charles LeClerc manages to win the home race of Monaco for the first time in his career. This was his third attempt starting from Pole and it was all nerves and jitters for everyone. Yet he managed it in as calm as fashion as possible. Overall it was a boring race with hardly any overtakes happening. Monaco is a narrow street circuit and modern F1 cars are very wide. Barring one overtake from Bottas it was more of a race of tyre management than of going fast and overtaking other cars. Charles and Ferrari were overjoyed with the win at Monaco. He got a big big hug from the teary eyed Prince Philip. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Monaco race actually started with a bang – literally. First Carlos and Oscar touch each other at turn 1 and Carlos got a puncture. This pretty much meant race over for him. But the heavenly bodies had other plans for him. In the back there was a massive collision as Magnussen tried to go past Sergio Perez and also took Hulkenburg down with him. Red flag happened and the Ferrari team were not only able to fix his car, he got to keep his P3 position as one lap was not done by then. Carlos must be thanking his stars for the second life. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">First Podium of 2024 for Oscar </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oscar has been in very good touch but the past results unfortunately do not reflect so. The McLaren has been working well but he was overshadowed by Lando, especially in Miami, as Lando won the race and Oscar was way back the grid due to an accident. That was not the case today. Oscar started P2 and maintained his position throughout the race. In the end he was a bit slow as compared to Charles but it did not matter much. He got the Silver. Meanwhile Lando will have to be satisfied with the P4 as there was hardly any overtaking opportunity. He should still be positive and look forward to the next races. While Red Bull and Max Verstappen are clearly ahead, the 2024 season is long and anything can happen in the future. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A weekend to forget for Red Bull</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Red Bull knew that the street circuits do not suit them and Monaco exposed their weakness. Sergio Perez could not get beyond Q1 and crashed in just 500m from the race start. Even Max Verstappen started from P6 and could not do much from there despite having a faster car at times. Still there are quite dominant on normal race tracks. They should be vary though as the development gap is reducing and Red Bull cannot take things that easy. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mercedes have a slew of upgrades planned but they are still far from McLaren and Ferrari. George finished P5 and Hamilton P7. Yuki Tsunoda got a brilliant P8, Albon got P9 and Gasly finished P10. Some much needed points for Williams and Alpine. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Home boy Charles LeClerc scores his third Pole in Monaco. Oscar Piastri takes P2 in his McLaren. Carlos Sainz manages to put his car on P3. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="1000" src="https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/monaco-leclerc-pole.jpg?resize=800%2C1000&#038;ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-1584" style="width:357px;height:auto" loading="lazy" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/monaco-leclerc-pole.jpg?resize=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 819w, https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/monaco-leclerc-pole.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/monaco-leclerc-pole.jpg?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/monaco-leclerc-pole.jpg?resize=1229%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1229w, https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/monaco-leclerc-pole.jpg?w=1638&amp;ssl=1 1638w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Monaco Magic for LeClerc</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the third time that Charles LeClerc has put his Ferrari on Pole position in his home track of Monaco. However this time he would be fully focused on the race day and convert this pole into a race win. Till date his best finishing position in Monaco has been P4 and LeClerc would dearly want to change that. Monaco is a street track and very difficult to overtake. Track position matters a lot and being on Pole significantly helps in converting it to a race win. This has not happened the last two times. Once Ferrari fumbled in strategy as the rains poured in and the second time the team could not detect that the drive shaft is broken. This time LeClerc would be hope there would be no more gaffes and he cruises to victory. Just a week before at Imola, Ferrari looked like a distant third to Red Bull and McLaren. However here in Monaco they are on the front foot. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well not so much for Carlos Sainz. He struggled in all the practice sessions and lacked the confidence of LeClerc.  Still he pushed hard when it mattered and managed to put in on P3. He must be hoping to get a good start and at least take the P2 position and may be even a race win if somethings falters. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Adopted LeClerc of Monaco </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Who would have thought there will be two local boys on the front row. Aussie Oscar Piastri mentioned on social media that he is checking his family history to see if there is any Monagasque roots. Charles LeClerc jokingly said that he can adopt him. Some more jokes ensued and Oscar’s name was put as Oscar Piastri-LeClerc on the time-sheets. McLaren looked really strong in the last week with Lando just 0.7 seconds behind race winner Max Verstappen. They had a good car here too with Oscar at P2 and Lando P4. Lando is still he alpha in the team and he would be a bit disappointed with P4 as he did not have a clean Quali session. Oscar did well in the last two races but it did not convert into good position. He must be hoping to correct that this weekend. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Missing RedBulls at Monaco</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Red Bulls struggled the entire practice sessions but no one anticipated it to be this bad. Sergio Perez had a tough time coming to terms with the car and he could not even get out of Q1. His job is still on the line for next year and this does not bode well for him. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We are all used to seeing Max Verstappen struggle in practice sessions only to pull out a stunner in the final lap of Q3. Well that did not happen in Monaco. He took too much risk and ended up touching the barriers too hard in his final run. Eventually he had to give up. The time margins are so less in Monaco that he will be starting P6 in the race. Yes it is tough to overtake in Monaco but Max would be giving it all to jump up a few places. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mercedes looked good all weekend, probably the best this season. However they did not have it in them to be better than the Ferraris and McLarens. In the end George was P5 and Hamilton P7. They have made gains but there is a lot of work to be done. Yuki was impressive with a P8, so was Albon in P9 and his first Q3 appearance in 2024. Gasly managed a P10. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes its true. No we are not hallucinating. Yes it is happening. No we are not on some fancy stuff. No its not April 1st. This is not a joke.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">LEWIS HAMILTON IS ENDING HIS 11 YEAR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SILVER ARROWS AND WILL BE MOVING TO FERRARI FOR THE 2025 SEASON.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The last time we saw such a shocker was when Lewis moved from a fairly decent McLaren team to a barely upcoming Mercedes team. Of course that turned out to be a dream move and one of most successful partnerships ever in the history of Formula 1, with Hamilton winning 6 World Championships with the team in Brackley.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="800" height="1000" src="https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/lewis-ferrari.jpg?resize=800%2C1000&#038;ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-1548" style="width:457px;height:auto" loading="lazy" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/lewis-ferrari-scaled.jpg?resize=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 819w, https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/lewis-ferrari-scaled.jpg?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/lewis-ferrari-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/lewis-ferrari-scaled.jpg?resize=1229%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1229w, https://i0.wp.com/formula1.buzz/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/lewis-ferrari-scaled.jpg?w=1638&amp;ssl=1 1638w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lewis to Ferrari </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The move came out of nowhere. Yes there have always been rumors of Hamilton planning to move to Maranello but he has always turned them down, stating that he has and will always be associated with Mercedes, just like Sterling Moss.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But then came this stunning news of Lewis moving to <a href="https://formula1.buzz/mercedes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mercedes</a>, despite have a contract with Mercedes for 2025 season. There must have been some exit clause. What is surprising is that he has not even driven the 2024 W15 car and even before that he has decided to switch. Yes the past two years have been frustrating but Lewis is not someone who would bow out so quickly. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However this is exactly what had happened a decade ago. McLaren was the team which gave Lewis a break into F1 and Lewis gave them a Championship. However they were all over the place from 2009 to 2012 and it was then that he decided to make a move to the untried Mercedes team. Many called it an unwise move but then he proved them all wrong as Mercedes gave him the best car on the grid when the rules changed in 2014. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Lewis looking forward </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This time however there are no rule changes, at least until 2026. But then like last time this would give him a good opportunity to gel with the Italian team before new rules kick in. Ferrari has not won a championship in more than 15 years. Their 2022 car was good but they fumbled their way through the season as the car development got bad and they made many errors – strategic as well as silly. It will be a wonderful opportunity for Charles to put himself against the 7-time World Champion. No better way to compare than putting two good drivers in the same car. It will be a great opportunity for Ferrari too, to learn from the Champ the winning ways of Mercedes team and how to get things together. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This move also leaves us with two interesting follow-up questions. Who will replace Lewis in that Mercedes seat? Can it be Carlos, or Albon or even Alonso. Or will they put their rising star Kimi in the hot seat. Also what will now happen to Carlos, who will have to drive the Ferrari knowing well that he will be leaving at the end of the season. Ideally, him moving to Red Bull to replace Checo and Alonso filling in the Mercedes seat for the time-being would be the best case scenario. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Only time will tell how things unfold from here. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ferrari Pole at Italy </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ferrari put all of their energies to ensure a good weekend at home. There is a new livery on the car, harking back to the fashion in the 70’s. The same Red, Black and Yellow was seen on the race-suit of Charles and Carlos too. But the revision was not limited to the external. Ferrari put new engines – from the same allocation – to ensure a good performance in Italy. Till now it has worked well. Carlos Sainz Jr. in particular looked in good touch right from the practice sessions. Charles was also right there but still missed that winning touch. It was to be seen whether it will convert into positive results. Carlos ensured that the Tifosi had enough reason to celebrate, at least on Saturday. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was very tight between Carlos, Charles and Max in the Q3 session. Charles first lit up the screen and took the Pole position, to the delight of Tifosi. Then Max beat him to take P1. Finally Carlos pulled off a stunner and took the Pole. Monza erupted in joy. It will be seen whether he can covert his P1 to a race win but Tifosi was at least happy on a Saturday. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Max narrowly missed in Italy </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It wasn’t that Red Bull had a bad car. However in the first run of Q3 Max went off the track and into the gravel, losing valuable time and track position. The second run was much better and he was in the mix for Pole but narrowly missed it to Carlos. He is still in the form of his life. The car is working wonderfully and Max would be hoping for a race win on Sunday to secure a record braking 10-consecutive F1 race wins. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perez meanwhile had another day to forget. He is still not completely in grip with the car and managed a P5, behind his team-mate and the Ferraris and Russell. Once again he would be doing the catching-up work to at least ensure a podium finish. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Varying fortune for Merc in Italy </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">George Russell pulled off a great lap and exceeded beyond his expectation to get a P4. Will he be able to hold on to this or even get a podium needs to be seen. Lewis meanwhile couldn’t get in grips with the track and he will be starting P8. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">McLaren had a quali with both the cars in Q3. Rookie Oscar Piastri pipped Lando to get P7 and P9 respectively. Albon did a respectable job to end up at P6 and it would be wonderful if he could hold on to it. Aston Martin knew that they would struggle on the high-speed track and Alonso managed a P10. Alpine in a tragic turn of events could not get out of Q3,both the cars. This has happened for the first time since the Renault team entered in 2016. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Gun Charles at Baku </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When it come to a single lap pace, Charles LeClerc is undoubtedly the fastest person on the grid. He can make the fresh tires work like magic and extract the maximum out of his car to secure Pole position. 2023 is his worst start to a season as a Ferrari driver. He is currently languishing at P10 whereas Championship leader Max Verstappen is miles ahead. Ferrari were expecting a tough weekend at Baku but were positively surprised to find their pace, at least in Quali sessions. Charles LeClerc, who recently launched a music album, would be chuffed with the outcome. This would give him a spring in his steps and make the 2023 a bit more exciting. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile his teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. was completely out of touch. He struggled in FP1 and then in Quali and then in Sprint Quali too. Carlos needs a lot of work to do and get his game up and match Charles. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Red Bull has the race pace </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Max Verstappen looked frustrated but he knows deep down he has a car which has the race pace. Points come only in Sprint and the Race and this is where the Red Bull shines. For Quali session Max Verstappen was P2 and Sergio P3. In the Sprint shootout Sergio was P2 and Max P3. As the Sprint started Sergio overtook Charles quite easily and maintained the gap. Charles had no other option but to hold on to his P2 position. Max had an altercation with Mercedes driver George Russell which caused a damage to his sidepod and compromised his race performance. He was really angry with George and said some stuff which shouldn’t have been mentioned in open. This is very unlike of a Championship Leader. Still he finished P3 in the Sprint and will be starting from the front row of the grid, knowing very well that he the best car in terms of race pace. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mercedes lacking the pace </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Everyone had high hopes from Mercedes after a long gap between the race. Toto Wolff had hyped up the upgrades and we were expecting them to challenge the Red Bulls for wins. Reality turned out to be a bit different. They were barely able to match the Ferraris and no way they are matching the Red Bulls. Still both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are trying their best to at least put themselves ahead of the Aston Martins and may be even ahead of Carlos who is not looking in good form this weekend. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aston Martin seems to have fallen behind the Mercedes mainly because their DRS was not working. McLaren upgrades are working and they can now fight to be in Q3. Pierre Gasly’s bad luck continues and he needs to work hard. Albon is in touch in his Williams and should be expecting to score some points if luck is in his favour. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Baku always gives us unexpected result and this year should be no different. Expect a spicy race ahead. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Carlos Sainz Jr took his second Pole of the season here at US GP. Charles finished P2 but will be starting from behind due to penalty. Red Bulls were P3 and P4. </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Carlos on Top in US</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After ruing finding himself within 0.1 seconds of pole on four occasions in 2022 after being in that bracket last time out in Japan, Carlos pulled it off to top F1 qualifying for the second time in his career after overcoming Leclerc’s Q3 run one advantage by 0.065s.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Leclerc’s initial best time in the final segment was a 1m34.624s that gave him the top spot provisionally ahead of Sainz, with Lewis Hamilton third after a blistering middle sector and <a href="https://formula1.buzz/max-verstappen/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Verstappen</a> only fourth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Dutchman tried a unique Q3 strategy of completing an additional slow preparation lap for his final Q3 flier, but he could not top the Ferrari pair after losing time in the slow corners in the final sector and finished 0.092s adrift.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Leclerc, who will drop 10 places on the grid for taking extra engine parts at Austin, led the way of the four initial Q3 leaders and he improved the first place benchmark to a 1m34.421s, but Sainz, following just behind his team-mate topped that with a 1m34.356s.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Max not enough at US</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Verstappen’s effort was enough to dislodge Hamilton from third as the Mercedes driver could not better his first Q3 time and the Briton failing to improve opened the door for Sergio Perez to slot in ahead. The Mexican driver duly did so with a personal best, set while running a few seconds ahead of the Ferrari pair.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Behind Hamilton came his team-mate George Russell, with Lance Stroll seventh despite only completing one run in Q3 – offset from the rest after he had finished his lap at the start of the final segment and while Verstappen was beginning his extra preparation tour.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lando Norris took eighth for McLaren, with Alpine’s Fernando Alonso and Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo) rounding out the top 10.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alonso and Perez will drop five places from where they qualified for also taking additional power unit parts outside the permitted season-long allocation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Q2, which Leclerc topped after Sainz had led the way in Q1, Alex Albon led the pack through the final Q2 runs and set a personal best to leap into the top 10 before three of his rivals improving late-on shuffled him back to 11th and out.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Seb lap time deleted</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sebastian Vettel lost his best lap from early in Q2 to understeering off and beyond track limits exiting Turn 9 at the end of the Esses sequence, but he did enough with his final effort to climb to 12th, albeit without troubling Q3.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then came Pierre Gasly, struggling with braking for the second weekend in a row – particularly at the big stops of Turn 1 and Turn 11 – and letting AlphaTauri know his fury.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zhou Guanyu ended up ahead of Yuki Tsunoda in 14th and 15th, but only because both lost their best Q2 laps and were relegated to the back of the runners knocked out in that segment – Zhou, who will lose drop five places on the grid, ahead because his banker effort was better.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tsunoda slipped beyond track limits at Turn 9, while Zhou’s indiscretion came at Turn 12 and cost him a spot in the top 10 that gave Norris a late reprieve after he had initially ended up 11th in Q2.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Q1, Kevin Magnussen was shuffled back to 15th and out by Albon’s late improvement, the Haas driver ending up ahead of McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo, out in Q1 for the third time in the last five races.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Esteban Ocon was a shock scalp in 18th, finishing only ahead of Mick Schumacher and Nicholas Latifi – who were the only two runners not to set personal bests on their final fliers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Latifi just failed to match his best from the opening Q1 runs, while Schumacher’s last effort was over when it had barely begun as he spun at Turn 1.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The German looped his Haas around in a quick 360-degree spin, the rear coming around to the right as he applied the power down past the apex of the bumpy, up/down hairpin that starts the Austin lap.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Charles Leclerc delighted the Tifosi to secure a home F1 pole position for <a href="https://formula1.buzz/ferrari-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ferrari</a> at Monza.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Charles left it until his last lap of Q3 to seal his second pole at Monza.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Eighth Pole for Charles in 2022</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Leclerc posted a 1m20.161s to edge out runaway championship leader Max Verstappen by 0.145s. Howver the Red Bull driver will drop five places for using too many engine parts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Leclerc will be the only driver to start where he qualified due to a litany of grid penalties. He will be joined on the front row by Mercedes’ George Russell. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Russell ended up sixth-fastest behind Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton. But penalties for Verstappen (second), Carlos Sainz (third), Sergio (fourth) and Hamilton will see the Briton move up four places. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sainz and Hamilton, who are both carrying back-of-the-grid penalties, will start from 18th and 19th respectively. Red Bull’s Perez is set to be demoted to 10th.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">McLaren pair Lando and Daniel, who were seventh and eighth, are due to line up from third and fourth. They will be ahead of AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly and Alpine’s Fernando Alonso. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>De Vries impresses on debut </strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nyck de Vries qualified 13th on his F1 debut and outpaced Williams teammate Nicholas Latifi despite only finding out he was driving just before final practice on Saturday morning, when Alex Albon was ruled out with appendicitis. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Dutchman, who won the 2020-2021 Formula E title, will start from eighth ahead of Alfa Romeo’s Guanyu Zhou and Perez as a result of the penalties for drivers ahead of him. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If this weekend turns out to be an addition for de Vries, who is understood to be in the running for the second Williams seat next season, it couldn’t have got off to a much better start. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In contrast, Williams regular Nicholas Latifi was eliminated in Q1, though he will start just outside the top-10 in 11th when all the grid penalties are applied. </p>
