The slipstream strategy worked wonderfully for Ferrari as the Monegask overtook Verstappen, with Alonso in seventh and the Madrid native from the bottom
Ferrari’s slipstream strategy worked wonders, to the point that Charles Leclerc took pole and will start for Max Verstappen at the French Grand Prix which takes place this Sunday at the Paul Ricard circuit.
By giving him the slipstream on his lap, Carlos Sainz was decisive for Leclerc to dominate the standings and lead the grid. Thanks to the man from Madrid, the leader of the Scuderia gained eight important thousandths ahead of the Dutchman, leader of the World Cup.
“Great, Carlos!” Leclerc thanked him after taking his sixteenth career pole position, first at the French Grand Prix and seventh of the season. Spectacular management by Sainz, who will start 19th after being penalized for changing the bike so that his partner got the upper hand after a great fight.
For his part, Briton Lewis Hamilton finished fourth in his Mercedes ahead of Lando Norris and George Russell. Asturian Fernando Alonso, who finished sixth, finished seventh after the McLaren driver improved his time.
