F1 championship leader Charles Leclerc recovered from a spin in qualifying to put his Ferrari on pole position for the SpanishGP in a last-gasp run that bumped reigning world champion Max Verstappen.
Leclerc shouted"that was good!" after his run in the closing moments of the third round of Saturday qualifying. His spin earlier in the round had sent him scurrying to the pits for a change of tires. He then tore off for his final run.
"It is a shame because I would have liked a last run," said Verstappen, who got his first career win here in 2016."Tomorrow will be very hot and this track is very hard to pass but hopefully it will kinder on our tires." Hamilton has won the last five Spanish Grand Prix's, and the pole-sitter has won 23 out of 31 times because the track has so few passing zones.
Former champions Sebastian Vettel and local favorite Fernando Alonso both failed to advance out of the first qualifying round. When told by Aston Martin team radio that he was 16th, Vettel replied"You must be kidding."
