Max once again proved that even though he's driving a cart, his experience doesn't lie, securing pole position after narrowly beating Norris. This was Max's best performance yet, having previously finished second at the Dutch GP, and he now secured pole position. He looks very well positioned for victory tomorrow, given the RB21's excellent performance in low-downforce trim.
It was really unbelievable effort by Verstappen man... By a last push, he made it! Maybe we can't see this rivalry much because of a big gap between the cars. But he sometimes gets more from the car somehow.

Norris finished ahead of Piastri, interesting.

I think Piastri will get past him anyway and win this race too. I know how much Norris needs the win this weekend but I just can't trust him.
Ferrari disappointed their fans once again. After a strong practice session, they slumped in qualifying, finishing only fourth and tenth (after Hamilton's penalty). It wasn't a great performance, but there was nothing they could do about it given McLaren's impressive performance.
For once I wondered whether Leclerc was going to be on the pole. But he couldn't improve it in last attempts... Still expecting a podium from him though.
