Many unanswered questions: Best time for Hamilton – was Alfa-Sauber bluffing?

class=”sc-29f61514-0 fQbOYE”>

1/10
Lewis Hamilton is fastest in the last practice session. He sends the two Red Bulls to their places.

A new tactic at Alfa-Sauber. Bottas and Zhou were already at the exit of the pit lane when it came to the last 60 minutes for the “new” qualifying. The Hinwil duo rode on yellow – the medium mix that everyone has to drive in the second part of qualifying.

Hard, medium, soft…

In the first part in 18 minutes, the entire field is still with Weiss (Hart) when five drivers drop out. What will Bottas and Zhou deliver in the eleventh World Cup race?

So far, only Bottas has managed to qualify for the top ten finals in Miami. The decisive chase for times (Q3) is then contested by all with two fresh sets from the red compound. So soft. Bottas after Friday’s pointless practice: “I think we can make Q 3!” Well, good luck then.

Alfa-Sauber already has three engines

The Bulls duo of Verstappen and Pérez took control from the start of the third practice session. For the two Alpines with Ocon and Gasly. Bottas and Zhou were still in the back…

But no fear. With the first timed lap after 20 minutes, Bottas (0.011) and Zhou (0.066) appeared behind leader Verstappen! Both pilots are already rumbling around with the third engine – four are allowed per season. Then there are sanctions.

Haas-Hulkenberg fourth!

Fifteen minutes before the end, Norris and Alonso passed pole favorite Verstappen. Then eight-time Hungarian winner Hamilton (32 races waiting for a win) took the lead – ahead of Verstappen. And Ferrari only got going in the last seven minutes with the red rubber.

Like Formula 1 return Daniel Ricciardo (34), who at least managed to beat Japanese Yuki Tsunoda (23) at Alpha Tauri Honda. At Haas-Ferrari, the bleached German Nico Hülkenberg (36) showed that the car is and remains a one-round wonder – fourth place!
