Leclerc edged out Ferrari teammate Carlos Sainz, who placed second. Red Bull star Max Verstappen qualified third, while George Russell of Mercedes and Pierre Gasly of Alpine rounded out the top five.

Leclerc finished qualifying at 1:32.726, just ahead of Sainz at 1:32.770, and finished first in two of the three practice sessions as well. However, Sainz has been docked 10 spots on the grid because of an engine penalty.
