July 11, 2020 Rain puts qualifying at risk, not Mercedes dominance. At Spielberg (last week at the Austrian GP, ​​this weekend in Styria) we start with three quarters of an hour late, constantly under water, and we end up with Hamilton trimming over 1 "2 in Verstappen. Third a surprising Carlos Sainz ahead of Bottas, this time in the shadows, Esteban Ocon's Renault in the third row, who will not have Lando Norris (credited with the sixth time) next because the McLaren driver is penalized by three positions due to a free practice infraction

Ferraris are shipwrecked. Leclerc does not exceed Q2 (thanks to a worsening rain that makes attempts in the end of the session in vain) and will start with the 11th time. Vettel places himself right in front of his teammate, but is unable to improve in Q3 (the leader Hamilton's delay is 2 "3, or more than 1" 1 from Verstappen). For him there is the tenth place on the grid.

It is always pitch dark for Alfa Romeo, both out in Q1. Giovinazzi, in the last attempt, damages the machine and stops, causing the session to end early (13 seconds). Disappointment also for Sergio Perez's Racing Point.
