Reece Young: Surely this is a Charles Leclerc pole unless he does something stupid? He looks superb as most would have predicted. Vettel definitely has his hands full.

Hulkenberg's disasterpublished at 15:23 Greenwich Mean Time 30 March 2019
Jolyon Palmer
Former Renault driver on BBC Radio 5 liveIt is a disaster for Renault...Hulkenberg is the big, big loser in that session.
That is his worse qualifying for a long time.

- 16th Antonio Giovinazzi (Alfa Romeo)
- 17th Nico Hulkenberg (Renault)
- 18th Lance Stroll (Racing Point)
- 19th George Russell (Williams)
- 20th Robert Kubica (Williams)
A disaster for Hulkenberg, who had looked good all weekend and was fifth yesterday afternoon in session two. He has to watch on from the sidelines. Williams, as they have been all season, are bottom two.
