Mclaren are just six points ahead of Alpine before the Sprint, which pays out points for the top-eight finishers. I have the confidence in the car when things are working to be in Q3 but just the engine issue this morning, lost a lot of laps, and they were low-fuel laps – so Q1 was my first feeling of low-fuel, higher grip. So, yes, try to just be an adult in this situation.

We’ve got to work on it now. “We’ll look to the rest of the weekend and get after it to make it better.” 30 milli-seconds would have put me in Q2, the margins are that small. We’ve got a long weekend ahead, so my focus moves to taking opportunities as they come. “We had a few things we had to solve after a disrupted FP1, but not enough to put us out in Q1, so I don’t want to use that as an excuse. When the bad news was given to Ricciardo on team radio at the end of Q1, the 33-year-old’s dejected response said it all.

And this time for the other Mercedes driver – Russell walking away from this one – who spun and crashed at the final corner to pause proceedings with two-and-a-half minutes on the clock. Leclerc and Verstappen improved, the former 0.087s ahead of the latter, while Hamilton was third by a margin of 0.188s to keep Sainz fourth. But of course very happy with pole; but I also know that tomorrow and Sunday, you can get the points. Tsunoda got tail-happy at Turn 1 and his frustration was audible as he took a provisional P14 for the Sprint – with Norris last having had three laps struck off. With five minutes remaining, Bottas was the driver at risk in P10 with Red Bull’s Perez 0.139s behind having gone wide at Turn 9, and Norris having had two lap times deleted thanks to separate excursions at Turn 1 and Turn 4 to sit last. Head here to see how you can catch the action on F1 TV. It definitely brings a smile on my face and I hope we can make it a great weekend." Max Verstappen: "It was a very long wait between the two runs and that’s never great, once you’re in the rhythm, it’s nice to just keep on going.

Mercedes’s Hamilton topped the charts early in Q2, his team mate Russell third, while Verstappen split the pair, 0.033s off the pace. Alex Albon took 12th for Williams ahead of Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas in P13, while Lando Norris was 15th for McLaren having had numerous Q2 laps delete for exceeding track limits.

“But a big, big thank you to my team for putting the car together. But as I said, I think there was something not right with the car after that. However, the other Haas of Kevin Magnussen remained out of reach. A spin in the wet qualifying session also generated cheers, as did news of his problems in the Silverstone race. “I didn't hear them during [the accident], I mean, I was going through a bunch of stuff in the crash,” he said when asked about the reaction of the fans. “It shouldn't have happened in Silverstone, even though it wasn't obviously a crash, and it shouldn't have happened here.”
