Going into the weekend, Max Verstappen leads the Drivers' Championship with 169 points, 31 points ahead of Charles Leclerc in second, and 56 ahead of Lando Norris in third. Red Bull Racing, with 276 points, leads the Constructors' Championship from Ferrari and McLaren, who are second and third with 252 and 184 points, respectively.[4]

Qualifying report[edit]
George Russell set an identical time to Max Verstappen in Q3 but took pole position by virtue of setting his lap earlier,[9] only the second time that pole position has been decided in such a way since Formula One adopted a three-decimal timing system after the 1997 European Grand Prix.[10]
