14:20 – Carlos Sainz leaves with the medium
Carlos Sainz will start from fifth position with the disadvantage of the medium tire but which will allow him to aspire to something more after a start where he may suffer some overtaking.
14:15 – Golden opportunity for Alonso
Fernando Alonso will leave in his best starting position in the whole season. The Spaniard will have only Pierre Gasly and Lewis Hamilton ahead and will try to pass the Frenchman from the first hour to fight for a place on the podium.
14:10 – Things get complicated for Verstappen
More difficulties for Max Verstappen. His failure to stop during Q3 when they raised the double yellow flag ends up costing him dearly. From second place he goes to seventh with the World Cup at stake and a Lewis Hamilton who will have more facilities to score points in this penultimate race.
14:05 – Fernando Alonso will start third!
Radical turn at the start of the grid! Both Valterri Bottas and Max Verstappen have been suspended with three and five positions at the start of the grid, leaving Fernando Alonso in third place before the green light.
