A strange moment during qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix. George Russell and Lewis Hamilton both appeared to start fast laps before bumping into each other. Russell had to think about the sluggish Carlos Sainz. The 25-year-old Briton made it past but then squeezed his team-mate. The W14s were battling each other and for Russell it was the 12th time at the end of Q2 qualifying.

Charles Leclerc will start from the last row at Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix. The Monaco native reported a problem with his Ferrari and did not get past the 19th in the first quarter. Sergio Perez was lucky. The Red Bull racer progressed into Q2 in 15th and last.

The first red flag was the fact of qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix. Alexander Albon and Valtteri Bottas simultaneously slid into the gravel at different points on the track. Both drivers were able to keep going, but race control had waved the red flag.
