Alfa Romeo pair Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, with Alpine’s Esteban Ocon, also failed to make the cut. Q2 saw the action continue for all but one of the 15 remaining drivers, with Tsunoda in his AlphaTauri opting to stay in the garage given a back-of-the-grid penalty was coming his way.ĭe Vries locked up his rear axle heading into the chicane at Variante della Roggia, causing him to drop out in P13.
