The Canadian Grand Prix qualifying was an enthralling spectacle. A wet session provided the factor of unpredictability in many fields. Max Verstappen managed to take pole position yet again. However, the matters that drew attention were the Q2 exits of Red Bull’s Sergio Perez and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
The Mexican seemed to leave his team perplexed. Despite boasting the quickest car on the grid, he has failed to make it through to the top ten shootout on three consecutive occasions. Sergio Perez was optimistic of fighting back against Verstappen, however this performance could well put his title hopes to bed. He locked-up in the final chicane, with the track proving to be too wet to improve his time.
Charles Leclerc’s torrid session saw him exit Q2 for the second consecutive race weekend, continuing his miserable run of form. He qualified 11th provisionally, which has been bumped up to P10 for race day after a three place grid penalty for his teammate. Leclerc attributed the poor result to disagreement between he and his team, venting his fury on his team radio.

Both drivers will be disappointed with their lack of good showings, and will seek to make a strong start to the race.

It will be exciting to see how the pair battle it out in an effort to compensate for their qualifying woes.
