Unfortunately, his pleasure was short-term. Hours later on, race stewards punished Hulkenberg for speeding throughout a warning in among the certifying sessions and enforced a three-place charge. 2nd ended up being 5th, and the front row unexpectedly looked a lot more familiar: Verstappen on pole for Red Bull, with Alonso, in an Aston Martin, best beside him.

Upgrades Lewis Hamilton likes the feel of what he is seeing from the Mercedes service technicians. (Intriguing.)
