In second place and 228 millimeters further back was O Charles Leclerc (1:29:407), with the Ferrari to show a very good face, since o Carlos Sainz finished 4th, and while the Scuderia had the best time in Q1 and Q2.
The third place was taken by George Russell with (1:29:485), with Perez (5th), Alonso (6th), Norris (7th), Piastri (8th) Hamilton (9th) and Hulkeberg rounding out the top ten.
Great disappointment for the British seven-time World Champion 9th place, as for Alpine, which saw Gasly and Ocon finish in the last places.
