Who will be on pole?
At a track which is difficult for overtaking, this is a big moment!
Can either of the McLarens usurp Verstappen for pole?

Max Verstappen on provisional pole!
Verstappen in the driving seat after the first laps!
Verstappen is 0.049 secs ahead of Oscar Piastri in second, with Lando Norris a tenth further back.
4-10: Russell, Hadjar, Stroll, Alonso, Sainz, Albon, Gasly
They will all enter the pits… and go again.

Ferraris out!
It wasn’t even that close!
Leclerc missed out by over a tenth, with Hamilton a tenth slower than his teammate!

Lewis Hamilton on team radio:
“Sorry guys, I can’t improve for some reason.”
It was the Aston Martins of Alonso and Stroll which eliminated the Ferrari pair at the end!
Disappointment for the home fans!
Leclerc: “My god, my god, my god.”

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc out in Q2!
Oh it’s disaster for Ferrari!
Hamilton and Leclerc both out in 11th and 12th!
Kimi Antonelli also out in P13!
Bottom-five and out in Q2 (11-15): Leclerc, Hamilton, Antonelli, Bortoleto, Colapinto

Haas’ Ollie Bearman after his Q1 exit:
“I didn’t see the red flag until I crossed the line, I’m not sure why my lap wasn’t reinstated. It’s a bit strange.”

Pierre Gasly in bottom-five!
Gasly in P12 and is not happy with an Aston Martin ahead at the final corner, who perhaps made his car turbulent.
Gasly: “What’s the name of that smart guy in the Aston? I’ll remember him.”
Current bottom-five (11-15): Stroll, Gasly, Albon, Bortoleto, Colapinto
Antonelli will need to go quicker in P10… 4:00 to go in Q2.

Q2 begins!
Nothing from the FIA on Bearman’s time, but no news is presumably good news for Bortoleto!
The Brazilian headed straight out to the end of the pit-lane and as the green light appears, Bortoleto is straight out on track!

FIA UPDATE:
FIA: “Q2 will start at 16:58.”
Still nothing from the FIA on Bearman though…
