SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium - Charles Leclerc led a Ferrari front-row lockout in qualifying for the Belgian Formula One Grand Prix, but there was a sombre mood at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit following the death of driver Anthoine Hubert in a Formula Two race later on Saturday.
It was the first driver fatality on a Formula One race weekend since Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger were killed at Imola in 1994. The Briton, who leads the overall standings by 62 points from team mate Valtteri Bottas, was third, after his Mercedes team rebuilt his car in time for qualifying after he had crashed in Saturday morning’s final practice session.“It was very tricky, especially in Q3 I struggled quite a lot.
Yet while Ferrari’s speed is formidable over a single lap, Mercedes are a match for them in race trim and Hamilton is looking forward to putting up a fight on Sunday.“I think a bit of the straight speed, which is where generally all the speed is, it’s usually not there so much in the race, so hopefully we’ll be there or thereabout with them tomorrow and can put in maybe some interesting strategies, we’ll see.
