For Scuderia Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Q2 was the end of the road this time, in a very evenly matched qualifying session: the Italian side was aware that starting the Grand Prix of soft tyres tomorrow was not a valid option and as a result, both Charles and Carlos tried to make it to Q3 on medium tyres, but unfortunately missed out for a very small margin and will therefore start from P11 (Carlos) and P12 (Charles), but will at least be able to use the medium (or hard) tyres for the first stint at the Red Bull Ring circuit, in the hope that the Maranello team’s race pace will be strong enough for both driver to recover and score some points in Austria.
