Carlos Sainz Jr passes Daniel Ricciardo while Lando Norris surprises Lance Stroll!
Daniel Ricciardo moves up to 5th place! Esteban Ocon is 7th!
Lance Stroll will have difficulty looking for Max Verstappen's 3rd time after the first sector.
The pilots come out for the last attempt.
The Renaults bring up the rear, more than 2 seconds behind the Mercedes. It's huge.
It's not a gap, it's a gap that the Mercedes have created with the rest of the peloton! Max Verstappen, 3rd, is dropped by more than a second, 1″147!
Sebastian Vettel was the victim of understeer at Chapel, he set the 6th fastest time.
Valtteri Bottas goes slower than Lewis Hamilton! He concedes 150 thousandths!
Lance Stroll concedes 1″3 on the Englishman, he is 2nd.
Lewis Hamilton shatters the lap record in 1'24″616!
After the first sector, Valtteri Bottas is 2 tenths ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
If pole should go to a Mercedes, the rest of the hierarchy is much more undecided.
It's the start of Q3! Lando Norris begins this final phase of qualifying.
No luck for Pierre Gasly. The Frenchman set the same time as Lance Stroll in 10th place in this Q2 at Silverstone but did not progress to Q3.
The returning Nico Hülkenberg stops with a 13th fastest time, just like George Russell (15th) and Daniil Kvyat (14th).
The biggest disappointment of this middle phase of qualifying concerns Alexander Albon. The Thai was never in the rhythm of his teammate Max Verstappen.
Despite a spin and a red flag to clear the gravel on the track, Lewis Hamilton set the second time, just behind Valtteri Bottas.
Here is the ranking for this Q2:
Under the checkered flag, Carlos Sainz Jr moved up to 4th. The disappointment of this Q2 is Alexander ALbon, eliminated with the 12th time. Pierre Gasly is also ousted with the 11th fastest time, as is his teammate Daniil Kvyat (15th), George Russell (14th) and Nico Hülkenberg (13th).
Lance Stroll does not improve, just like Sebastian Vettel. Nico Hülkenberg is 11th while Daniel Ricciardo moves up to 7th.
