Max Verstappen was third, 0.276s off, with Leclerc\u2019s teammate Lewis Hamilton fourth, 0.364s behind Alonso.<\/p>\nOscar Piastri recovered from early understeer and a brush with the wall to take fifth, just 0.001s behind Hamilton, edging McLaren teammate Lando Norris in sixth. Isack Hadjar impressed in seventh for Red Bull, ahead of Williams\u2019 Carlos Sainz in eighth. Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon rounded out the top ten.<\/p>\n
George Russell was 11th as Mercedes chose not to run soft tyres, with Kimi Antonelli 14th after a slide at Turn 1. Lance Stroll ended 18th, nearly two seconds off Alonso\u2019s time, while Alex Albon failed to set a lap after a brake fire halted his Williams in the pitlane.<\/p>\n
