The results of the qualifying round in F1 Canada are a bit surprising and emotional. Verstappen grabbed pole position, with Alonso taking second in the final moments of Q3, Ferrari's Sainz third and Hamilton fourth. For every driver, such a result has a different meaning.
For Verstappen, the standings are behind pereez and Ferrari's Leclerc, so the chances of opening up the points gap again in Canada are very large. For Alonso, who had started in the front row for the first time since the 2012 Race in Germany, the results of this qualifying match were extraordinary, and in the interview with Villeneuve after the race, the whole audience gave Alonso encouragement and cheers, which was very moving.
For Hamilton, he finally surpassed his teammate Russell in qualifying, which is also a proof of himself, although Russell performed well, but there was an operational error in the last minute, but also entered the top ten, the performance is very stable.
Most surprisingly, Haas's two cars were in fifth and sixth qualifying, occupying the third row. Mick Schumacher, in particular, is already the best of his career in sixth place. You know, Canada is a blessed land for Schumachers, where his father Schumacher and uncle Ralph Schumacher have set the record of brothers winning the championship and runner-up in F1, and more than once. Therefore, Mick Schumacher seems to have providence here like a divine help.
Zhou Guanyu's performance is also very eye-catching, entering Q3, although ranking 10th, but once rushed to a higher ranking. Throughout qualifying, Zhou Guanyu's performance exceeded that of teammate Bottas, which shows that Zhou Guanyu and the car's run-in began to gradually come into place, and also confirmed his own strength.
However, it has to be said that if Leclerc had not been forced to leave at the end of the line because of the replacement of engine components, the qualifying rankings might have been different. In addition, due to the impact of rainy days, it is easier for those "delicate" old drivers to adapt and easier to produce results, but it is not the same in the main race, according to the weather forecast, the Sunday weather of the main race will not be too bad, so whether the advantage of qualifying can be brought into the main race is still a problem.
Finally, predict the outcome, Verstappen has the best chance of winning, while second and third may come in Sainz, Hamilton and Russell. Leclerc started from the back row, in fact, there is no pressure, there should be no problem in chasing to the points area, and Zhou Guanyu should be able to get points this time!
