Aston Martin He lived his best classification from Brazil 2023, curiously the last Top 3 to Fernando date in F1. Beat a Gabriel Bortoleto, Max Verstappen, Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjarwhich complete the upper part of the grill.
The task began crooked to Carlos Sainz From the first attempt of Q1. The Madrid blocked wheels in the same curve that ruined his time with soft in the free 1, an error that left him very lagging again and on the edge of the elimination if he did not save the ballot with two more attacks.

Stroll's was good and was located two tenths of the provisional time of McLaren, but Alonso waited to be the last and Aston Martin ended up aborting his second round, reserving an extra game for Q3. The Asturian was playing, finally, the same as the big ones and although the track had not improved the last assault of the Q2 had everyone and almost none surpassed him. Only Russell who lowered him to the fifth.
Sainz was stuck in the pit lane And he ended up falling for five tenths in the fourteenth place, behind the main (and negative) surprise, Hamilton, again outside the top 10 as in Spa. Kimi andre antonellithe same, eleventh, with Oliver Bearman and collapint also eliminated.
