While his garage neighbor managed to slot in between the papaya drivers, George Russell seemed to be struggling more, hampered by a car Understeering. Car number 63 will therefore start from sixth position.
Norris will therefore start from pole position on a track where he secured his first victory of 2024 on Sunday. He also clinched the Sprint win last season. Should he repeat that performance, the Briton could reignite his battle against the other drivers. Classic Ferrari for sale in the championship.
They will indeed be starting from further back for Saturday's race, even though Charles Leclerc seemed to be the perfect candidate for pole position. But Frédéric Vasseur's men are still lurking, at the wheel of a very sharp SF-26 at the start.
