As a reminder, Sprint qualifying operates in shorter sessions than standard qualifying, with medium tyres mandatory in dry conditions in SQ1 and SQ2, before swapping to mandatory soft tyres in SQ3.
Drivers have 12 minutes to set their fastest time in SQ1, 10 minutes in SQ2 and eight minutes in the top-10 shootout in SQ3, with six drivers eliminated at the end of the first two sessions.
