Liam Lawson was disqualified from qualifying results for a technical infringement involving MGU-K power limits, dropping him to the back of the grid. Max Verstappen also received a one-place grid penalty for a practice incident with Lawson. Fernando Alonso's qualifying was cut short by a Honda engine failure in Q1, starting 18th. Sergio Pérez makes his 300th F1 start. Antonelli admitted to being 'more tense than usual' and is battling illness and exhaustion.
