- Free Practice 3: P20, 1 lap
- Qualifying: No time

• Carlos Sainz suffered a technical issue in his Williams FW48 when he was finishing his first lap in the third practice session.
• The Spanish race driver spent the rest of the session in the pits and his team could not repair his car on time for Qualifying.
• The race is set to be challenging, but Carlos hopes he will be able to race and, in doing so, learn as much as possible about the FW48.

QUOTES:
“It’s been a very difficult weekend filled with reliability issues across each of the sessions. It’s unfortunate because we seemed to have no issues during both tests, so to come here and only do FP1 and the beginning of FP2, ultimately missing both sessions today, is frustrating. Hopefully tomorrow we can go racing and gather some experience and good learnings, as we’re already on the back foot".
