The big question from the fans before today’s qualifying at 11:00 PM CET (TV live): Who will take the 19th pole position of the year? The previous pole setters: Verstappen (10), Leclerc (3), Sainz and Pérez (2 each) and Hamilton (1).
Slow turns are preferred
At Alfa-Sauber you keep motivating yourself from race to race and dream of winning championship points every time. In Mexico, chief engineer Xevi Pujolar (50) describes the current situation: “The C43 runs best in slow corners and high temperatures!” Like in Mexico, when the weather gets warmer…
The Spaniard Pujolar, together with sports director Zehnder and corporate lawyer Bravi, is part of the triumvirate that runs the course for CEO Seidl. Here are the last six starting positions of the two Hinwil drivers:
Bottas: 19, 14, 16, 16, 9, 13.
Zhou: 16, 16, 19, 19, 20, 12.
hope dies last
This time Bottas and Zhou advance to qualifying with training positions 6 and 12. Bottas: “If everything fits together, then the top ten final and World Cup points are possible.”
Well, in the last four races the Hinwilers will have to face competition from Williams-Mercedes (2nd Albon, 11th Sargeant), Haas-Ferrari (16th Hülkenberg, 19th Magnussen) and Alpha Tauri-Honda (9th Ricciardo) beware. The Japanese Tsunoda (7th) has to start from the back row after the fifth engine and third battery change on Sunday.
Verstappen at his own discretion
In the opening minutes of the third practice session, the two Ferraris took control. Then you saw the two Mercedes in the front.
The Red Bull Honda duo spent the first twenty of the sixty minutes waiting in the pits for the first timed lap. Local hero Pérez then immediately ended up in fifth place. Verstappen, on the other hand, was even good enough for second place behind leader Russell in the first flying lap. Until he took over shortly afterwards. So much for the Bulls’ superiority.
New sprint format 2024
Max Verstappen is also calling for sprint races to be abolished. “They are too boring and disrupt the processes for the main race.” The sixth and final sprint of this season will take place next Saturday in Brazil.
And what do the general practitioners’ main thinkers do? You can easily change the program for the 2024 sprint weekend. Friday: First training, sprint qualification. Saturday: sprint race and GP qualifying, Sunday: race.
