Leader of the championship, Max Verstappen experienced mishaps in qualifying with a gearbox failure and especially a 15^e place on the starting grid this Sunday. Enough to envisage a comeback from the Dutchman who should have no difficulty in achieving it as his RB19 is so efficient.

Up front, all eyes will be on Sergio Pérez and Fernando Alonso. With the penalty of Charles Leclerc who passes from 2^e the 12^e instead, the Spaniard should be a great client for the Mexican, author of his 2^e career pole position this Saturday. At the wheel of a Aston Martin promising, the Asturian has a good card to play and could sign a first Grand Prix victory for the first time since Spain in 2013.
