Verstappen will not improve! He gets into the boxes, engine problem! What a disappointment for the Batavian who finished 2nd.

Leclerc is logically the first to take the track for this final loop of this qualifying session in Barcelona, Sainz follows suit. Ferrari is under pressure!

Charles Leclerc spins at the entrance to turn number 15! The Monegasque is under pressure, he has no time in this Q3 and finds himself in 10th position. He only has one more attempt left to take pole position.
