Little over 10 minutes remains before we get underway in the session. As a refresher, SQ1 will last for 12 minutes, with SQ2 lasting 10 and SQ3 just eight minutes. As with a regular qualifying session, six drivers will drop out from each of the first two phases. 

Unlike a normal Saturday session, tyre usage is mandated. In SQ1 and SQ2, a single set of medium tyres can be used in each. In SQ3, one set of softs can be run.Â
