Ferrari has managed to fix Leclerc’s car for the Q2, so the Monegasque was able to continue the run after his error in Q1. However, made few short runs he returned to the garage and didn’t appear on the track till the end of Q2.

Mercedes drivers were much quicker in comparison their speed in free practices. It seems the team may has been turned up the "party mood" of the engines here.
