Tomorrow’s winner? Mercedes and Red Bull are expected to be the two fastest teams yet again in Barcelona, with Racing Point and Ferrari further behind. Though…. It was Renault’s turn to ‘do a Red Bull’ and repair the damage in double-quick time to get Ocon out for qualifying. The lack of home support in the grandstands did nothing to slow him and he managed to pip Norris by 0.04sec despite being a couple of tenths slower in Q3 than he managed in Q2. Verstappen himself was an average 0.15sec down on Ricciardo in qualifying when they were first paired, but by the end of 2018 had turned it around to such an extent that he was a similar margin in front, the 0.3sec delta coming with increased experience. 16th, 15 laps Qualifying – Best lap: (Q1) 1:17.676, (Q2) 1:17.192, pos. I’m quite satisfied today as it was a solid session. “We had a productive third practice session, during which we validated the changes we made overnight. Happy but not delirious. “All day I struggled a bit in S3 but Lewis did a really good job there,” Bottas acknowledged. Initially it looked like a cast-iron brake test, but how wrong you can be… From back there, given the difficulty of overtaking at Barcelona, it looks like Renault will have to rely on strategy if it is to emerge with a strong result. Race: 3:10pm CEST ; 2020 Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix session timings in the US Friday 14th August 2020. Nico Rosberg, who had to contend with it so often from the other side of the Mercedes garage, explains that one of Hamilton’s great strength is his instinctive feel for the limits of the front tyre under braking. But, for the moment, Saturday afternoons are purgatory. This weekend could mark the return of Sergio Perez after his absences from the two Silverstone race, provided the Racing Point driver returns a negative COVID-19 test. Three milliseconds behind the second McLaren was Charles Leclerc, who was anything but content. Stroll, meanwhile, felt he might have gained the upper hand over his returning team-mate but for a lock-up in Turn 10. Not for the first time. All quali sessions can be found that are driven at all Formula 1 Grand Prix since 1950. Are there any straws at which to clutch? But I shouldn’t think the prospect fills either driver with glee…. Q3 was very tight and even if at the end I’m happy, inside myself I’m also a bit disappointed because you always feel like you could have done slightly better and maybe get a few more hundredths out of the car. Part of the knack of a quick Barcelona lap is keeping the soft compound rubber alive so as not to drop too much time in that final sector. Unfortunately for Daniil, he missed the last qualifying session by 24 milliseconds! “We just fell away session by session,” he said. Last year, Valtteri Bottas beat Lewis Hamilton here by a preposterous 0.64sec. “Nevertheless, we had a pretty strong qualifying today and we are in a good position to fight for points tomorrow. Verstappen’s practice pace caught Mercedes’ attention. Qualifying: 3pm – 4pm CEST ; Sunday 16th August 2020. 12th, “This morning I struggled with the car which was not behaving well, so we definitely made good steps going into Qualifying. Pierre was driving a solid lap until he had big wheelspin at the exit of Turn 10, overheated his rear tyres, and affected the performance of the car in the entire third sector. Pierre was able to extract good lap times from the package, on a track that was definitely more difficult than yesterday due to the very hot track conditions. Spain in August heat is uncharted territory and Mercedes clearly has concerns. He too, was warned of approaching traffic, was looking in his mirrors and did not see Magnussen slow. We had only four sets of Softs which meant we had to run with the used tyres at the start of Q2, which wasn’t easy, but we made it so I’m quite happy with that. Pierre Gasly can no doubt sympathise with Albon having been there himself taking a pounding from Verstappen at the start of last year. The issue is still there but Sainz is always super-quick around his home track. Results and interviews of our protagonists at the end of the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix Qualifying session. Full results from qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, round 6 of the 2020 Formula 1 season. Who knows. We need to understand the reason for this mistake and if we could have done anything to avoid it. Sergio Perez, back in the car after a negative Covid test, missed Verstappen by 0.19sec and lines up fourth, a tenth clear of team-mate Lance Stroll. This allocation is the same Pirelli brought to Silverstone for the British Grand Prix, but one step harder compared to the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix. Had he matched his 1min 16.800sec Q2 lap in Q3, Gasly would have lined up sixth, ahead of Albon once more, but after feeling less comfortable in the car on the opening day, was satisfied enough to make the top 10. The haunted-looking Albon couldn’t say too much when left contemplating a 0.65sec gap to Max in Q2 and a 0.73sec margin in Q3. As far as the front row went, only the two of them were in it, but that doesn’t mean the race is a foregone conclusion. Despite some intra-team mutterings that there’d been nothing wrong with the old one, it seemed to work to a certain extent, even if it was a placebo. Pierre was the last car on track at the end of Q1 and he managed to find space in the traffic jam in the last sector. Find out more! When he looked up he was almost into the back of the Haas and exited stage right into the wall. For the Spanish Grand Prix, Pirelli will bring its three hardest tyre compounds - C1, C2 and C3. For some, tyres might be round, black and boring. Mercedes has been the dominant force in the 2020 F1 season so far, with five victories in six races, but the German manufacturer was outfoxed by Red Bull at last weekend's 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at Silverstone. Hamilton’s 1min 15.584sec lap was actually 0.18sec slower than Bottas’s 2019 effort. Lewis Hamilton will start the Spanish Grand Prix from pole position, the sixth round of the 2020 Formula 1 World Championship season, at Barcelona. Mercedes has claimed every Barcelona pole since 2013 – yes, that’s right, even before their dominant hybrid era began, so it was no surprise when the trend continued. And Hamilton himself was concerned enough to still be in the paddock at 10pm on Friday night, poring over the day’s data. Vettel has never had a Barcelona pole and, like Silverstone, it has never been one of his stronger tracks. Perez marked his return by outqualifying Stroll. By going out very late, Pierre had better out lap preparation and still some margin to the chequered flag, and he closed a very strong lap which put him comfortably in Q3. “The car just didn’t have a strong enough front end and we were struggling mid-corner.”. We made a good step forward for Quali; I had a good result in Q2 and we decided to keep one more prime tyre for the race. Sebastian Vettel was in worse shape as he failed to make Q3 for the third time this year, bounced out of Q2 at the death by two milliseconds after a great lap from Gasly. On the medium tyre during Friday’s long runs, Max Verstappen’s pace had once more got their attention and, even though there were no serious blistering issues for Mercedes, it is obvious that significant tyre management is going to be required in the heat of race day. With Pirelli’s tyre compounds the same as last year and back to the hardest C1/C2/C3 selection of the first Silverstone race, the deficit was more about August track temperature, some 15 degrees hotter than last year’s May race date. But this one was no silver bullet and the gap to Leclerc was still there, albeit only a couple of tenths in Q2.

Daniil struggled more with the balance of his car, so we had a bit of work to do before qualifying to give him a car that he could feel more comfortable with. Ocon was one of just three drivers to one-stop at Silverstone last weekend, so don’t rule out at least one of the Renaults trying a similar thing tomorrow. Esteban Ocon is still struggling for one-lap speed vis a vis Daniel Ricciardo and an FP3 incident out of Turn Three with Kevin Magnussen certainly didn’t help. Rivals will be hoping for a repeat of Mercedes' tyre troubles in the Barcelona heat as Lewis Hamilton secured pole ahead of Valtteri Bottas in qualifying for the 2020 F1 Spanish Grand Prix
