<\/a>George Russell on provisional pole<\/p>\n

Russell takes pole to start with a 1:13:194 – 0.217 secs ahead of Lewis Hamilton in second! <\/p>\n

3-10: Antonelli, Verstappen, Hadjar, Piastri, Leclerc, Lindblad, Norris, Sainz <\/p>\n

Can Hamilton get ahead with his second lap? <\/p>\n

<\/a>SQ3 underway<\/p>\n

Here we go then – the quickfire eight-minute top-10 shootout! <\/p>\n

Drivers involved: Russell, Antonelli, Hamilton, Leclerc, Norris, Piastri, Verstappen, Hadjar, Sainz, Lindblad<\/p>\n

<\/a>Verstappen escapes in P9<\/p>\n

In the end, nobody bothered Verstappen! That being said, he\u2019s complaining his car is \u201cjumpy\u201d – not ideal heading into SQ3. <\/p>\n

Carlos Sainz nicks back 10th from Nico Hulkenberg right at the death. <\/p>\n

Out in SQ2 (11-16): Hulkenberg, Bortoleto, Colapinto, Ocon, Bearman, Alonso<\/p>\n

<\/a>Verstappen only ninth-fastest<\/p>\n

Is the Red Bull man in trouble here?! <\/p>\n

Sainz in 10th, followed by: Bortoleto, Colapinto, Ocon, Bearman, Hulkenberg, Alonso<\/p>\n

<\/a>George Russell quickest so far <\/p>\n

Russell goes fastest by 0.085 secs to his teammate Antonelli, with Hamilton a further tenth back in third. <\/p>\n

A reminder: Fernando Alonso will stay in P16 as he won\u2019t take part due to that crash.<\/p>\n

Current bottom-six (11-16): Bortoleto, Hulkenberg, Piastri, Leclerc, Verstappen, Alonso<\/p>\n

<\/a>SQ2 underway<\/p>\n

Time for the second session to see who makes the top-10 shootout. <\/p>\n

10 minutes this time – again all on mediums.<\/p>\n

Kieran Jackson22 May 2026 22:08<\/p>\n

<\/a>Gasly out<\/p>\n

Only 3 cars made it over the line – and Lance Stroll couldn\u2019t improve his time. <\/p>\n

Very anticlimactic end to the session! Pierre Gasly has to take a surprise SQ1 exit.<\/p>\n

Out in SQ1 (17-22): Perez, Stroll, Gasly, Bottas, Albon, Lawson<\/p>\n

Kieran Jackson22 May 2026 22:03<\/p>\n

<\/a>SQ1 back underway<\/p>\n

Sainz and Stroll are the first cars out. <\/p>\n

Who will make it round in time?! <\/p>\n

Kieran Jackson22 May 2026 22:00<\/p>\n

<\/a>Resumption in 2 mins<\/p>\n

A rapidly big queue in the pit-lane as a start time is announced for 9:59pm. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s around a 1:15 lap – and there\u2019s 1:46 left. <\/p>\n

Some should make it round to set another lap… but some will definitely miss out! <\/p>\n
