It\u2019s not going to be easy, but we\u2019ll try to get a good start and hopefully lead into Turn 1, and then we'll try to set the pace, even though it\u2019s going to be very tight. I\u2019m very happy with qualifying \u2013 Q3 was very tough with the wind, very gusty and unpredictable. I'm happy that we stuck it on the pole,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Verstappen was nearly two-tenths off the pace in P2 as he went marginally quicker than Hadjar and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, while Lewis Hamilton settled for fifth place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mercedes' George Russell was a frustrating P6 ahead of McLaren driver Oscar Piastri, who moved up a place after his teammate Lando Norris\u2019 time was deleted for track limits, relegating the Briton to P8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson completed the top 10, the former will receive a five-place penalty for exceeding the permitted internal combustion engine allocation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pierre Gasly came close to squeezing into the top 10, but ultimately missed out by just 0.022s in 11th, qualifying ahead of Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto as Audi\u2019s tow strategy didn't work out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Although Arvid Lindblad and Liam Lawson completed the top 10, the former will receive a five-place penalty for exceeding the permitted internal combustion engine allocation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-special\">Special Cricket Stories<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
