HERE the chronicle of the qualifying of the Silverstone GP

Qualifying at Silverstone, we are at the end of Q1. The riders are returning to the track after the stop imposed by the red flag caused by the failure of Magnussen’s Haas. There are 3’11” left to go, with the track drying out and therefore with the possibility of doing faster laps (and the risk of being left out of Q2). In the pit lane Sainz comes out in front of Leclerc, but on the track Ferrari asks him to let his partner pass: “It’s unfair that you ask, so I’ll sacrifice the temperature of my tires. Also, I’m fourth and he’s third, so I’m more at risk.” There is more.

The Spaniard gets behind Leclerc, but towards the end of the lap Hamilton overtakes Ocon, and Sainz takes advantage of this and overtakes Charles, who the launched lap is about to begin. «Nice thing from Carlos, good overtaking at the last corner!», the controversial words of the Monegasque.
