F1 Qualifying Results: Full Starting Grid For The Barcelona-Catalunya GP
Formula One qualifying has always been dramatic, where every 1/100th of a second matters to start ahead on the grid. Barcelona-Catalunya GP was no exception, as drivers battled it out until the end of the allotted time to start as high as possible for Sunday's race.
Unfortunately, Fernando Alonso could not make it past Q1 in his Aston Martin, just days after claiming his final grand prix race in the iconic Barcelona circuit.
Carlos Sainz managed to just squeeze into Q2, being the lowest-placed driver to qualify for the next round. However, the Spanish driver was knocked out in Q2 stage of the session. Mclaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri faced a minor scare of failing to qualify for Q3 but eventually picked up the pace, finally finishing P4 and P7 at Barcelona.
