Less than 10 minutes left in Q1. The top spot just keeps shifting from one driver to another. Lando Norris currently at the top. Charles Leclerc on his heels.

In the drop zone we currently have: Lawson, Hadjar, Hulkenberg, Colapinto and Gasl.

Leclerc has taken the top spot ahead of Piastri and Norris. He claims the top spot currently in Q1 with the timing of 1:11.229.

Out in Q1:

• P16: Bortoleto

• P17: Bearman

• P18: Gasly

• P19: Stroll

• P20: Colapinto

Kim Antonelli has crashed and the red flag is up. He was out of danger zone at P15 but his qualification will end right here.

George Russell is stopped in the tunnel and it could be over for him this evening. He has hit a bump and stopped.

And he tells Mercedes that game's over.

Q2 is underway now. Norris is at the top.

After a short break, we are back in Q2. Will we be seeing any more red flags? Anyway, Leclerc is once again on top and interestingly it is his Ferrari teammate Hamilton who is on second.

We are moving quickly towards the end of P2 and Norris has taken the top spot from Leclerc. It is still close though. An interesting finish awaits. Here is the top five right now:

1. Norris

2. Leclerc

3. Verstappen

4. Hamilton

Q2 is done and we will have a delayed start to Q3 but stay tuned as it coming to you really soon.

These drivers have been ousted after Q2:

P11: Sainz

P12: Tsunoda

P13: Hulkenberg

P14: Russell

P15: Antonelli

Norris is still on top and there is not much time left in Q3. Piastri is quite close so the pole position is still up for grabs. 15 miliseconds seperate the McLaren duo. Who is going to finish on top?

Norris takes pole!

Leclerc will start from P2 while Piastri gets P3. A stunning end to this qualifying session.

Lando Norris will start from the pole tomorrow in what will be his first start from the top this season. What a brilliant end from Norris and he has managed to stay ahead of Charles Leclerc by 0.1 second.
