Red Bull's hope at their home race to con👍tinue t🌃heir run of winning every grand prix in 2023 so far was boosted by Max Verstappen snatching pole position on Friday.
Concerningly for him, the duo of upgra😼ded Ferraris are directly behind him. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz may have their best chan⛎ce of the year at claiming victory.
Lando Norris, featuring major new upgrades to his McLaren, is encoura📖gingly in fourth ahead of Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton.
Sergio Perez endured a disast𒀰rous qualifying and will start the grand prix from 15th, though.
Nyck de Vries, under intense pressure at AlphaඣTauri wh𓆏o are considering replacing him mid-season, chose a terrible time to qualify last on the grid.
