Team Summary:
The opening eighteen minute period would commence with the two Haas cars out first followed by a Williams. More cars would come out with all on the soft tyre except Gasly who was on the medium. This would include the second Williams. Schumacher would set a time but it would be deleted as Mazepin set a 1m:30.390 only to see Raikkonen quickest with a 1m:23.717 followed by both Williams. After more laps were set it would be Sainz quickest with a 1m:23.323 followed by Leclerc and Vettel. Only nine times had been set as we had Perez now quickest but Norris would move ahead only to see Hamilton quickest with a 1m:22.019. Verstappen was now second followed by Norris and Bottas. Tsunoda was now fifth while after their second laps the Williams cars were 13th and 14th.

This would become 15th and 16th as we saw Bottas now quickest with a 1m:22.016 from Hamilton and Verstappen. Perez was now fourth but all would change as Verstappen went quickest with a 1m:21.996. Both Williams were out on their second set of soft tyres and they would improve to be tenth and 14th. With the end of the session drivers were completing their final flying laps and we would have Hamilton quickest from Verstappen, Bottas, Sainz, Perez, Alonso, Tsunoda, Gasly, Vettel, and Stroll tenth. The Williams drivers would finish in 15th and 17th.

The remaining Williams would be first out in Q2 while we would see the majority of drivers coming out on the medium tyre. Neither Alpine of Aston Martin were running as as had a Williams quickest but then we would see Hamilton quickest with a 1m:21.682 followed by Bottas and Tsunoda. Verstappen would move into second but Gasly would move into this spot. Now we had both Alpines and Aston Martins running using the soft tyre. Gasly had been able to move into second using the soft tyre. Verstappen was third followed by Bottas, Tsunoda, Alonso, Ocon, Sainz, Vettel, and Stroll tenth. More drivers would return but this time using the soft tyre and we would see the period end with Hamilton fastest with a 1m:21.682 followed by Gasly, Alonso, Verstappen, Bottas, Ocon, Tsunoda, Vettel, Norris and Sainz tenth. Quite a few of these drivers had to switch from the medium to the soft to ensure making it into Q3.

The final period would commence and after the first soft tyre runs it would be Hamilton quickest from Verstappen with Bottas third. Gasly was fourth followed by Alonso, Sainz, Norris, Tsunoda, Ocon and Vettel tenth. The order would remain after their second runs seeing Hamilton remain quickest from Verstappen and Bottas. Gasly would suffer a tyre puncture after he ran over the kerbs and damaged his front wing which would impact on the tyre. For Williams their qualifying had ended with their cars in 15th and 17th. Based on their practice pace it is very much an expected result. Their main rivals Alfa Romeo were 16th and 18th so Sundays race was going to be mainly in regard to keeping them in check.

George Russell:
George would come out for his first run using the soft tyre. A 1m:24.320 from George as he dropped down to eighth from second. He would be well down the times but a 1m:23.440 would see him tenth just ahead of his team-mate. This would become 15th as he pitted after a four lap run. He would set a 1m:22.969 to be 10th. Even with a 1m:22.863 George would drop down to 15th but he would remain in this position and into Q2. George would come out early in Q2 again on the soft tyre. He would set a 1m:22.925 to be quickest if only briefly. He would drop to ninth as he pitted. He would drop to 13th as other went quicker. After a quick stop he would return on another set of soft tyres. He would set a 1m:22.756 to remain 13th and would pit remaining there as the period ended seeing him out of qualifying. He would finish in 15th.

Nicholas Latifi:
On the soft tyre Nicholas would be first out for Williams in the opening period of qualifying. He would set a 1m:24.611 to be second dropping to ninth. He would drop further down the order but a 1m:23.44 would see him jump up to tenth. This would become 16th as he pitted after a four lap run. He would return again on the soft tyre and with a 1m:23.213 would improve to be 13th. He would drop to 15th and would fail to improve falling in 17th and out of qualifying.
