Stavelot -

Max Verstappen memang boleh jadi pebalap tercepat di Kualifikasi F1 GP Belgia 2022. Tapi, pole jadi milik pebalap Ferrari Carlos Sainz Jr. Lo, kenapa?

Pada sesi yang dihelat di Sirkuit Spa-Francorchamps, Sabtu (27/8/2022) malam WIB, pebalap Red Bull Racing itu tampil prima sedari Q1 hingga Q3. Dia sulit ditandingi oleh duo Ferrari Charles Leclerc dan Carlos Sainz Jr.

Verstappen menajamkan waktunya di akhir Q3 untuk merebut pole dengan 1 menit 43,665 detik, unggul 0,632 detik dari Sainz yang harus puas di posisi kedua.

Di posisi ketiga ada Sergio Perez yang membukukan waktu 1 menit 44,462 detik. Melengkapi posisi lima besar ada Charles Leclerc dan Esteban Ocon.

Sayangnya, Verstappen harus start dari posisi ke-15 karena pergantian mesin. Demikian pula dengan Leclerc yang bakal start dari posisi ke-16 pada balapan besok.

Alhasil, perubahan pole terjadi dengan Sainz start terdepan disusul Perez dan Alonso. Hamilton start dari posisi keempat disusul George Russell di posisi kelima.

Alexander Albon, Daniel Ricciardo, Pierre Gasly, Lance Stroll, dan Sebastian Vettel melengkapi 10 besar.
