Full results qualifying GP Belgium | Seventeenth pole for Verstappen

The difference between Verstappen and Perez is striking. The Mexican veteran was about eight-tenths of Verstappen's pace, actually far too much. Charles Leclerc only did one run and was sent off on the wrong tyres, another strategic mistake by Ferrari. The number two of the world championship set the fourth fastest time.

Behind them were the two Alpines and the two Mercedes cars. Impressive is also the performance of Alexander Albon. The driver set the ninth time on Saturday afternoon in a Williams.
