Thank you very much for following the event with us and we’ll see you tomorrow with the race at Suzuka. In the meantime, you can follow all the news from Formula 1 and sport on the La Sexta website. See you tomorrow!

“We didn’t know where we were going to finish because we didn’t have a lot of pace. We knew it wasn’t going to suit us, and neither did Qatar. I hope to score points tomorrow. Today I I enjoyed it, not suffered.”

“We still have the same limitations, but today was a little better than the previous races. This weekend we lost time in the first sector and we have to analyze it. Tomorrow we will not be faster, but we hope to understand something for the No, I think the degradation is a problem for us, I think we can fight with the McLarens.

“We made some changes and in free practice 3 we were already fast. The difference with Max is bigger than expected, but I’m happy with second position. It’s a bit frustrating not to have improved in the second round, but it would be the case.” “The car behaves very well in the fast corners, but we still have the same problems despite the improvements. We will try to trouble Max, but it will be difficult.”

“Back to reality, this is where we were before Monza. I tried things and I couldn’t find the right settings for qualifying. We could expect a sixth place, here McLaren is better than us. We’re all in a pretty even race pace, hope to stay in these positions fighting with the Mercedes.”

“It’s been a great day for the team with a second and third place, but there’s always Max. It’s not an easy circuit and a mistake costs you dearly, but it’s a great position for tomorrow Some of McLaren’s biggest stories happened last there and we’ll try to do that tomorrow too, but Red Bull is very strong.

“The first round was very good. The second round was not so good, but I’m happy to be second. Very happy with the team and the improvements, but we still have to finish it. I will try to overtake Verstappen to begin with.”

“We had a bad weekend in Singapore, but from the start of the week I knew we would do well here. Taking pole at Suzuka is incredible. The difference from second was such that I had to come back. .”

In their only attempts they placed themselves in the middle of the table, but now the others are coming out to make their respective final attempts.

He will have a clean track in Aston Martin’s only attempt at Q3.

Four tenths behind Verstappen and they are the closest.

1:29:012. Virtually impossible to beat.

Lawson, Gasly, Albon, Ocon and Magnussen eliminated in the 2nd quarter.

By 43 thousandths with Lawson, Alonso will be in Q3.

Alonso hopes someone doesn’t improve to pass.

In fact, Piastri tried to exit and his car stopped in the pit lane.

Currently the Asturian is eliminated, who suffers in this ranking.

They stayed close to Verstappen, but they did it with new software.

More than a second behind Verstappen, Russell is fifth and Hamilton sixth.

Also with worn soft tires, Ferrari is half a second behind Verstappen’s time.

1:29:964 with used soft tires. I probably won’t even need to go out anymore.

The rest remains in the stands.

They ask Stroll to stay in the car in case they eliminate laps due to track limitations. They would nevertheless need several drivers because Bottas is just ahead of Stroll in 16th position. There does not appear to be any return cancellation.

Bottas, Stroll, Hulkenberg, Zhou and Sargeant are already absent.

Upgrade to a minimum to save the furniture. The walk falls, once again.

He is on the verge of elimination.

The rest on the track to set the time.

They are not feeling confident after seeing Lawson’s time, which moved up to seventh place ahead of them.

The Ferraris are placed at the top, but far from the times of Verstappen and Norris, who are half a second away.

A minute and a half before the green light and Leclerc and Sainz are already waiting. Ferrari rushes to set the time.

Sargeant’s car has already been removed.

Leclerc, Sainz, Bottas, Hulkenberg, Sargeant, Albon and Gasly did not set the time.

Both Scuderia drivers were close to completing the lap and were unable to complete it. Game spent in vain and they will certainly have to leave.

Oversteer caused it all. The American car lost just enough to enter the grass and there he could not avoid the accident.

Logan Sargeant’s serious accident. What last races for the American.

Behind Red Bull, McLaren and Mercedes.

McLaren appears to be Red Bull’s rival for pole.

The Dutchman had already appeared, reducing Lawson’s time by almost two seconds.

1:31:729 is the best time, set by Liam Lawson. Stroll was left far behind, half a second behind the New Zealander.

These are the only two drivers to have come out at the start of Q1 for timing.

The Canadian is already waiting for the green light for the first quarter.

Here are the results of the last free practice session before qualifying:

We were all surprised by the FIA’s decision not to sanction Max Verstappen for some of the three actions that upset his rivals during the Singapore GP qualifying session, a decision that the FIA ​​itself admitted as erroneous.

The teams encountered compounds at Suzuka that last very little, so they are already planning strategies of up to three stops. Something that stops George Russell is very strange.

Four proposals to enter Formula 1 have arrived at FIA headquarters and three have already received a “no” at the first opportunity. The FIA ​​refused the entry request from Carlin, Hitech and Lkysunz, but yes, he accepted Andretti.

Very good morning and welcome to all those brave souls who woke up early on a Saturday to see everything that is happening at Suzuka and the standings of the Japanese Grand Prix, with Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz battling it out from pole. Now we have all the news happening on the Japanese circuit and the ranking which starts in less than an hour. Let’s get started!
