Alonso is leading in Canada!

He wanted to fish in the stormy river. He knows that in the dry he has no vehicle that will seek pole position in today’s classification (10:00 pm / DAZN F1). In his quantity Alpine will be fast on Friday, with the third best speed of the race and the Spaniard will fight for fourth place, He knew if it didn’t rain in ‘qualy’ this Saturday, he wouldn’t have much to do with his car. But water can change everything. And the best demonstration was given by the Oviedo man this Saturday at Free Practice 3, ahead of Gasly (up to 53 thousandths) and Vettel (3º to 55 thousandths).

In wet, the mechanical differences that exist in dry are useless and things are equal. Anything can happen. proven to be Russell achieving second position in ‘eligible’ with a Williams at Spa 2021 in the wet. And now, men like Alonso, Gasly, Ocon, McLarens or Russell himself want to take advantage of the unique opportunity heaven has to offer them to achieve a pole that cannot be reached in the dry.

Fernando Alonso He was ahead at the start, riding fast on wet asphalt, with heavy rain tires, and he was the first to decide to wear intermediate tires and set competition time with them. It was first placed on the time table, and though Take a walk either Vettel that place from him in a few seconds, the man from Oviedo will return first on several occasions with intermediate wheels to lead the session.

Red Bull sank into the water and Sainz showed his strength

The Spanish exceeded 53 thousandths until gaslyat 55 thousandths up Vettelat 0 “167 to Or included (4th), at 0 “274 to Ricciardo (5th) and at 0 “412 to Norris. Another man who can shine in the rain is Russellwhich is 7th despite the problems of a Mercedes where hamilton it was only 15th. There is no trace of those positions of some red bull lost in battle, preferred not to take risks and went out in the end to find wet sensations. But what they found was not very good. Perez is 8th, sixth tenth from best and Verstappen He was 9th after leaving the track three times, one of them after looping during acceleration on turn 2.

For his part, Carlos Sainz has always been ahead, throughout FP3. He didn’t set a time trial at the end and that’s what relegated him to 10th place, but before that he had already shown his strength in wet conditions at the wheel of a Ferrari that finally this year had a competitive wet car. The Spaniard should also be a candidate for pole position if it rains, although there is more competition than the two Red Bulls.

Leclerc will start from the bottom of the grid

It was confirmed this Saturday Leclerc will start from the end of the grid to place the fourth machine. And so, the dry stuff is in between Verstappen Y sainzwaiting if Perez he was getting better after not being fast on Friday. But in the rain, many other drivers could join that battle. And that will only benefit Charles.

Max should take advantage of the penalty on the grid position Leclerc to go for the highest score. But water could complicate that goal this Saturday and make him start on the grid in the back. For its part, Charles has no toy in qualifying. Just one post included Tsunoda, who was also punished for changing elements. Monegasque shouldn’t risk being qualified to reserve a machine, which he lacks.
