Hamilton and Verstappen went out on their final runs but were unable to improve their times. However, the front running teams split their strategies ahead of tomorrows’ race. Both Red Bull’s qualified on softs in Q2, Mercedes’ Hamilton and Bottas set their fastest Q2 times on the medium tyres.

Pierre Gasly regains some qualifying form and will start his AlphaTauri on fifth place ahead of McLaren’s Lando Norris in sixth.

Charles Leclerc will start in seventh place and will be the only Ferrari to start in the top ten. The session was red flagged when, in Q2, Carlos Sainz lost the rear at the final corner and ploughed into the barriers. He was unable to get going again and will start from 14th place.
