#3 Teams achieving a mixed bag of results
It was evident from qualifying that a handful of teams decided to run their drivers on different sets of strategies. The two Force India cars are separated from each other by five grid positions, Sergio Perez qualified in 10th while Esteban Ocon was only able to clock a time that compelled him to settle for the 16th spot.
Similarly, with McLaren, Fernando Alonso pushed his car to P11, his teammate Stoffel Vandroone is trailing dead last, without counting any effected grid penalties. The German Grand Prix might see drivers from the same team achieve diverse end results by virtue of their starting positions.
Sergey Sirotkin managed to bring his Williams into Q2, while Lance Stroll was eliminated from the first part of qualifying. Williams would be hoping for a strong result, preferably points finish, for the Russian, even if Stroll’s chances look dire.
