#2 Sebastian Vettel crashes in Qualification

Last time round in Azerbaijan we saw Charles Leclerc damage his race and ruin his qualification with an accident in Q3 to place him in 10th automatically. This time in Spain, we see Ferrari having yet another disaster on Saturday, with Vettel being on the short end. Vettel has qualified second or third for the first four races of this season and with the pressure mounting to bring the fight to Mercedes, we see the four time World Champion putting a foot wrong in Spain to end up in the gravel in one part of Quali.

We've had top cars, either a Red Bull or Ferrari having to fight their way through the field earlier this season, and in Spain it's our pick that Vettel will be the one making his way through the pack. Now a bad day on Saturday doesn't necessarily mean that Vettel will have his race completely ruined on Sunday, but in our minds, Ferrari will very literally have their struggles embodied by a mistake in Qualifying that forced Vettel to fight for every position on Sunday.

Vettel has started from lower positions before however and with the Ferrari underneath him that has shown pace, I do see him making his way back to some good points on Sunday, just how high is the question.
