Mercedes seem to be very strong this weekend and they are the favourite to take pole position. Lewis Hamilton will take a grid penalty of ten places during the race on Sunday due to the change of his combustion engine. The Briton will therefore do everything possible to limit the damage by taking P1 in qualifying.

Chance of rain

After the wet third free practice, there is also a good chance of rain in qualifying. Red Bull showed that they have a fast car on a wet track, so who knows if Verstappen and Sergio Perez can challenge Mercedes for pole position if it rains.

Ferrari didn't look bad either during Friday's free practice sessions. On a wet track, the Italian team was fourth and fifth. Who knows, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz could also fight for good positions.
