168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc - 7th

It was a rare of🦄f day in qualifying for Charles Leclerc - the man with nine pole positions to his name in 2022.

Leclerc ultimately qualified a disappointing seventh, even losing out on a position to Alfa Romeo’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas in the dying stages of Q3.

While their pace has often looked to be on par with Red Bull and Me📖rcedes, the driveability of the Ferrari has looked very tricky, particularly in the middle p꧙art of the lap.

Both Leclerc and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz have been seen on countless occasions correcting oversteer moments and struggling wi🧸th the rear of their car.

Speaking after qualifying in Mexico, Leclerc hinted at a potential engine❀ issue which hampered his performance in qualifying.

“It was a difficult session but there is a problem I am sure. We need to look into it. It was💟 mostly engine-w𒁏ise, we were losing a lot of time down the straights. And there were lots of problems with driveability, the engine was not responding to the throttle. Especially at high speed it was extremely difficult. 

“I really hope we can fix that for tomorrow, if yes, I feel confident we can have a goodꦜ result. If not, I am not sure how it will go. I think this is really a one off. For me it was really strange. So we need to look into it ওand I hope we can find something for tomorrow.”

Issue or not, it was a surprise to see Lec𓆏lerc so far down the order.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel - 17th

After an imprᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚꦍ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚessive run of races for Aston Martin, Sebastian Vettel was knocked out in Q1 in Mexico City.

The shock wasn’t particularly Vettel or teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll’s performance, but more Aston Martin’s lack of performance at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodri🌌guez.

Aston Martin have scored 24 points in the last three races, allowing them to move within three points of Alfa Romeo for sixth in the constructors’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:standings.

Seeing both Aston Martins out💝 in Q1 was surprising but a testament to how quickly things can change in F1’s midfield.

Which F1 drivers had a great day?

Max Verstappen - 1st

The reigning world c🉐hampion saved his best fಌor last in qualifying in Mexico.

Hi🌼s pole m൲argin was an enormous three-tenths - something that looked very unlikely in the earlier sessions.

Verstappen will go in search of his 14th victory of the year, and if he wins on Sunday, it will be a recor✨d for the𒐪 most wins in a season.

“It was a good qualifying, I think it was a close one," Verstap🤪pen said “I think after FP3 we made a few adjustments on the car and got into a better rhythm,꧑ and to be on pole here is of course amazing. 

“Of course, it's a very long run to Turn 1, so we do need a good start. Any𝓀way, I think we have a quick car, and that's, of course, what's most important.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell - 2nd

It was the first time since the summer break that George Russell out-qualified Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

Witho🦩ut a mistake in the final sector, a se🎃cond pole of the year could have been his.

Regardless, it was a welcome return to form for Russell, who by his own adm▨ission, has been below par sinc♒e the summer break.

While Hamilton had his own issues in qualifying, it was important for❀ Russell to get back ahead of his teammate and be in a position to attack Verstappen on the first lap.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas - 6th

The overall star of qualifying was Bottas.

Since introducing several upgrades at Suzuka, Alfꦡa Romeo a🃏ppear to be back to being a top 10 contending outfit.

It’s timely considering Aston Martin’s remarkable run of ꧑results, putting Alfa Romeo under immense pressure in the race for sixth.

Bottas hasn’t finished insid🎐e the top 10 since the Canadian Grand Prix but he’s in a great position to end his drought on Sunday.
