McLaren\u2019s strategy to allow both drivers two flying laps on fresh soft tyres paid dividends, with Norris claiming the top spot just after Leclerc had momentarily led the charts. Piastri completed the top three, continuing his impressive form.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Leclerc\u2019s Ferrari teammate Lewis Hamilton recovered from a crash in the final practice to finish fourth, while championship leader Max Verstappen struggled and could only manage fifth for Red Bull.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Isack Hadjar starred for Racing Bulls with a remarkable sixth-place finish, ahead of Fernando Alonso\u2019s Aston Martin and Esteban Ocon\u2019s Haas. Liam Lawson followed closely in ninth, while Williams\u2019 Alex Albon secured the final spot in the top ten.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Carlos Sainz missed out on Q3 after struggling for grip during his Q2 run, leaving him 11th. Red Bull\u2019s Yuki Tsunoda followed in 12th, still adapting to the team\u2019s latest setup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sauber\u2019s Nico Hulkenberg capitalised on issues faced by Mercedes drivers, qualifying 13th. George Russell suffered a power failure in Q2 and placed 14th, while rookie Kimi Antonelli placed 15th.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Further down the order, Gabriel Bortoleto narrowly missed the Q2 cut in the other Kick Sauber machine, with Haas racer Ollie Bearman, the Aston Martin of Lance Stroll, and Alpine pair Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto also falling at the first hurdle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bearman will drop to the back of the grid with his 10-place grid penalty for a red flag breach during Friday practice, while Stroll is also set to drop a position thanks to his sanction for an FP1 clash involving Leclerc.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
