With that record, Leclerc relegated Verstappen by 123 thousandths, who had dominated the second and third free practice sessions with Red Bull and was aiming as a great candidate for pole position.
Ferrari’s joy was even greater for the third time on the track achieved by the Spanish Carlos Sáinz, who closed the classification 129 thousandths of a second behind his teammate and was a breath away from Verstappen.
Sáinz will move tomorrow from the second row together with the Mexican Sergio Pérez, teammate of the Dutchman in Red Bull, while the British Lewis Hamilton will start from the fifth position.
The Mercedes driver, who this season will go in search of an unprecedented eighth crown in the top category, will start from the third row flanked by his former Finnish teammate Valtteri
Bottas, of great task in his premiere with Alfa Romeo.
In the fourth will be the Danish Kevin Magnussen, replacing the Russian Nikita Mazepin in Haas, and the two-time Spanish world champion Fernando Alonso, with Alpine-Renault, while the fifth will be shared by the British George Russell, new teammate of Hamilton in Mercedes, and Frenchman Pierre Gasly, with Alpha Tauri.
