And surprisingly, Fernando Alonso He also wants to fight for a similar spoils after posting a stratospheric lap in Q2 that put him third, a tenth from the best. It seemed like a good day for Fernando to get a good result in qualifying and Carlos had to save the honor of those in red after Leclerc’s elimination in Q2 (11th). However, it all went wrong in that final lap of Q3.

Alonso should have finished there, but he ended up 10th.
