The McLarens will be going into qualifying looking like the favorite, while the rest of the field is starting to shape into a battle. Norris was the one to set the fastest lap ahead of his teammate Piastri, while George Russell was third quickest and Verstappen was behind. Meanwhile, both Williams were sixth and seventh, with Albon ahead of Sainz. Gasly, who’s been looking strong all through the sessions, was eighth. The Ferraris seemed to be having a rough time, as Leclerc managed fifth and Hamilton could do no better than twelfth. The fight for pole will most likely be between the pair of McLaren drivers, but it’s unknown who will come out on top.
