It proved a thrilling qualifying hour, with Alex Albon the only driver to find the wall as Lewis Hamilton was the slowest of the 20 drivers on track amid a confusing end to Qualifying 1 for the Ferrari driver.

Carlos Sainz was an incredible third fastest, despite an investigation into the Williams driver, while officials will also review both Mercedes drivers following concerns surrounding their set-up sheets.

George Russell was fourth best, while late confusion with one of the Racing Bulls meant Oscar Piastri meant he could do no better than fifth.

Joining him on the third row is fellow Antipodean, Liam Lawson, with Fernando Alonso and Isack Hadjar filling out Row 4. Rounding out the Top 10 were Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly.

From there, it’s Nico Hulkenberg ahead of Lance Stroll, who attempted to brave the intermediates in Qualifying 2 when the track was still not ready for the switch from full wets.

Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman made for an all-Haas seventh row, with Franco Colapinto, Alex Albon who was the only driver to find the wall, Kimi Antonelli, Gabriel Bortoleto, Yuki Tsunoda, and Lewis Hamilton.
