Saturday’s qualifying brought a lot of emotions during and after the session. Another pole position of the season was taken by championship leader and defending champion Max Verstappen. Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg surprisingly got the second fastest time. After qualifying, however, the judges punished the German for being three places behind at the start of the race. Analysis showed the 36-year-old was driving too fast after displaying the red flag.

In addition to Hulkenberg, Carlos Sainz and Lance Stroll received the same penalty. In their case, it was about blocking and slowing down rivals on the track. Finally, Fernando Alonso will start from second place. In second place will be the two Mercedes drivers – Lewis Hamilton and George Russell.
Verstappen is the favorite to win Sunday’s race. The Dutchman is confidently heading for his third world title. After seven races, he has 53 advantages over second Sergio Perez. Alonso is third overall.
