All 22 cars did take part in the session, although Lance Stroll did not set a time in SQ1. He stopped on track abruptly after a lock-up approaching the hairpin and did not return to the track once he had recovered to the pits. Team-mate Fernando Alonso had a laptime deleted for exceeding track limits, although he would still have been slowest of the drivers to set a time with that effort. ## Sprint qualifying times 1 Lando Norris (McLaren) 1m27.869s 2 Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) 1m28.091s 3 Oscar Piastri (McLaren) 1m28.108s 4 Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) 1m28.239s 5 Max Verstappen (Red Bull) 1m28.461s 6 George Russell (Mercedes) 1m28.493s 7 Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) 1m28.618s 8 Franco Colapinto (Alpine) 1m29.320s 9 Isack Hadjar (Red Bull) 1m29.422s 10 Pierre Gasly (Alpine) 1m29.474s **Out in SQ2** 11 Gabriel Bortoleto (Audi) 1m29.994s 12 Nico Hulkenberg (Audi) 1m30.019s 13 Ollie Bearman (Haas) 1m30.116s 14 Alex Albon (Williams) 1m30.216s 15 Carlos Sainz (Williams) 1m30.224s 16 Arvid Lindblad (Racing Bulls) 1m30.573s **Out in SQ1** 17 Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls) 1m31.043s 18 Esteban Ocon (Haas) 1m31.245s 19 Sergio Perez (Cadillac) 1m31.255s 20 Valtteri Bottas (Cadillac) 1m31.826s 21 Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) 1m41.311s 22 Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) no time
