Sergio Perez will start 8th and once more far from the pace of his teammate and poleman, as he finished Q3 1.078s behind the Dutchman. The Mexican driver will start on the fourth row of the grid, alongside Oscar Piastri, although slightly behind. His main threat at the start on Sunday will be Nico Hulkenberg, as he was 9th.
