Friday, 7 November 2025:
- Free Practice 1: P8, 1:10.686, 36 laps
-  Sprint Qualifying: P20, 1:11.120, 6 laps

• Carlos Sainz was not able to make it past the first round of the Sprint Qualifying, in which he could not prepare the tyres of his Williams FW47 like he would have liked.
• He had traffic on track on his first flying lap on the Medium tyre (1:11.120) and the situation was even worse in his second try (1:11.316), when the team didn’t find him a good track position, meaning that he was not able to maximize the potential of his car.
• The Spaniard finished the day convinced that his FW47 has more speed in it, as shown by the fact that he was far from the lap-time he set in the practice session: 1:10.686.

QUOTES:
“We simply didn’t do a good Sprint qualifying today. My first run was messy with traffic and getting the tyres up to temperature but the second run we made our life more difficult and almost didn’t get two laps in. Ultimately, I finish this session not knowing the limit or performance of the car, so it’s not ideal. Looking at FP1, I know there was more in it, so we’ll learn from today and hopefully execute a better session tomorrow".
