Spanish GP Qualifying Recap

Formula 1's European season begins in earnest as the Circuit de Catalunya hosts the Spanish Grand Prix, the fifth race of the 2019 championship. So far, Mercedes have dominated with four 1-2 finishes and two wins each for Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, with the Finn leading the driver rankings. Will the Silver Arrows once again claim pole?

5 years

Another 1-2 for Mercedes. It doesn't look like Ferrari, or anyone, has what it takes to stop the Silver Arrows from dominating the 2019 F1 season. Thanks for joining GPFans for qualifying, folks! Tomorrow - BOTTAS takes pole.

THREE MINUTES TO GO

1. BOTTAS 2. HAMILTON 3. VETTEL 4. VERSTAPPEN 5. GASLY 6. GROSJEAN 7. MAGNUSSEN 8. KVYAT 9. RICCIARDO 10. LECLERC

There is a HUGE amount of gravel currently on the track. This will surely affect the remaining times? Good news for BOTTAS...

5 years

Another impressive outing from GROSJEAN who is currently sixth fastest.

5 years

LECLERC the only driver yet to emerge from the garage. Not particularly promising for the Scuderia...

5 years

ANOTHER track record for BOTTAS! He takes provisional pole with 1:15.406.

Q3 UNDER WAY

5 years

Ferrari haven't earned a pole position in Barcelona in over a decade, and it doesn't look like they'll stop the rot this afternoon.

5 years

It looks like pole position belongs to either HAMILTON or BOTTAS, with both Mercedes cars looking by far the most impressive. Another weekend of domination for the Silver Arrows?

5 years

A bit too close for comfort for LECLERC who left it until the very last minute to leap out of the elimination zone to progress for Q3.

5 years

Huge disappointment in the stands at the elimination of SAINZ who is enjoying his home race in Spain. He suffered a locked wheel midway through his final lap which just cost him a few vital seconds. The first time EVER both McLaren drivers failed to make it in to Q3 in Spain.

5 years

Q2 eliminations: 11. NORRIS 12. ALBON 13. SAINZ 14. RAIKKONEN 15. PEREZ

5 years

New track record for BOTTAS!

RICCIARDO, again, is the driver at risk. He is 0.305 seconds faster than ALBON at the moment.
