Max Verstappen was comfortably quickest however will begin nowhere close to the entrance of the grid. If that does not make for a tantalising Belgian Grand Prix, nothing effectively.
The reigning world champion was one among seven drivers given grid penalties because of having had engine work carried out, however anybody watching the Crimson Bull gliding across the Spa-Francorchamps circuit won’t be discounting him from taking a ninth race win of 2022. A qualifying time of 1:43:665 was practically eight-tenths of a second quicker than anybody else, and 1.8 seconds faster than Lewis Hamilton.
“One-point-eight seconds?” the Mercedes driver repeated over the staff radio, in disbelief and despondency.
Nonetheless, will probably be Carlos Sainz who will begin on pole, the Spaniard having recorded the second-fastest time regardless of Ferrari’s technique of utilizing Charles Leclerc for slip-streaming virtually going awry once they put him in contemporary tyres apparently by mistake.

Leclerc certified fourth, behind Sergio Perez however forward of the Alpines of Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso, though he, too, will probably be moved to the again of the grid.
Hamilton was seventh, Mercedes teammate George Russell eighth, and Alex Albon ninth after reaching Q3 for the primary time this season. In fact, none of them will begin the race in these positions given the seven drivers who have to be reshuffled to the again of the pack.
It is that haphazard-looking grid that would flip the 2022 race at Spa-Francorchamps, already one of the fashionable circuits in System One, a very gratifying spectacle.
That stated, Leclerc didn’t sound too assured. The Ferrari driver didn’t blame his staff for ending so worryingly in need of Crimson Bull’s tempo. When requested by Sky Sports activities if they might have performed something totally different to get him forward of title rival Verstappen on the grid, he replied: “No, no, no. They’re approach too quick. It’s kind of worrying.”
When you already know you’ve got acquired grid penalties, however you place it on POLE anyway 🔥 @Max33Verstappen 🇧🇪 pic.twitter.com/sSSE4UqBGD
