Qualifying 1

Kimi Antonelli topped the segment from Lando Norris and Isack Hadjar, while the Sprint winner George Russell was only fifth best.

Lewis Hamilton and Pierre Gasly were flagged by officials for a post-race investigation into an incident during the segment.

A wild slide for Lance Stroll highlighted his session as he made an early exit with the 21st fastest time, quicker only than Valtteri Bottas who pinched a brake heading into Turn 1 on his final flying lap.

Both Audis also missed the cut as they struggled for one lap pace, while Fernando Alonso was also an early elimination.

Esteban Ocon was the final driver to miss the cut.

Qualifying 2

Impressive early pace saw Hadjar top the segment, leading Lewis Hamilton by 0.066s, with Lando Norris only 0.07s off top spot.

The top five were split by just 0.104s with Antonelli fourth best and Russell fifth.

Missing the cut were Nico Hulkenberg, Liam Lawson, Gabriel Bortoleto, Pierre Gasly, Carlos Sainz, and Oliver Bearman.

Franco Colapinto progressed into Qualifying 3 as he out-qualified his Alpine teammate once again, while Arvid Lindblad also made the grade.

Qualifying 3

A mistake from Russell meant he didn’t have an early banker lap, leaving him 10th in the final moments of the session.

He climbed his way to third fastest which became fourth when Antonelli banked a 1:12.646.

However, the Brit was able to improve next time around, improving by 0.068s over his Mercedes teammate.

Behind them came the two McLarens, then Hamilton from Verstappen, Hadjar, Charles Leclerc, Lindblad, and Colapinto.
