The Monegasque charles leclerc (ferrari), leader of the World Cup, will accompany him on the front line. But nothing is decided for the GP start line on Sunday, which will be determined by the results of Saturday’s sprint at 11.30 in Argentina, in which Verstappen could lose his position.
Under the rain present in the qualifications, the British Lando Norris (McLaren) and the Danish Kevin Magnussen will be in the second row, with the Spanish Fernando Alonso (Alpine) and the Australian Daniel Ricciardo (McLaren) in the third.
The Mexican Sergio Pérez (Red Bull), the Finnish Valtteri Bottas (Alfa Romeo), the German Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin) and the Spanish Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) complete the top-10.
The last session (Q3) was marked by the absence of Mercedes, for the first time since 2012. George Russell could only set the eleventh fastest time, and his teammate Lewis Hamilton the 13th of the second session (Q2), while only the ten first go to Q3.
As in 2021, Formula 1 applies the qualifying sprint format on Saturday, in three Grand Prix, introducing some novelties. For example, the official pole – the one that will count for the category statistics – is attributed to the fastest driver in Friday’s qualifying and not at the end of the short race.
The classic classifications on Friday fix the starting positions of the, in which the first eight will add points for the World Cup (from 8 for the first to 1 for the eighth).
In addition to Emilia-Romagna, this new format is also planned in Austria for the weekend of July 10 and in Brazil for the weekend of November 13.
