WATCH: HAmilto under investigation for impeding Piastri
I think a three-place grid-drop could be incoming for Hamilton here…

Max Verstappen, who qualified P6:
“My whole weekend has been bad, the car was really bad, we’re picking up aero losses, the car on entry is completely sideways. You cannot rely at all on the rear.
“First we need to understand our problems, so many unexplainable issues before you start to think about a normal race.”

Charles Leclerc after qualifying P3:
“I felt a bit off from this morning; qualifying has been quite messy, the pace was never to the level of Lewis.
“It was all about trying to maximise today and I felt like I kind of did it.”

A very disappointed Lewis Hamilton after qualifying P2:
“Congratulations to Lando, great lap. We’ve been doing a great job all weekend, felt solid in qualifying. We went out first, wrong call, but the grip wasn’t there on the last lap for Charles and I.
“We’re competitive, but I think tomorrow is going to be a hard day. We were quickest throughout qualifying; definitely my mind is elsewhere this second… at the end of this lap, I don’t know if I got in the way of someone.”
He was… very downbeat… and Hamilton did impede Piastri on a flying lap. That may well be a penalty.

Lando Norris after claiming pole:
“Very happy to be back on top, tough quali! These guys [Ferrari] were very quick, but we’ve seemed quick this weekend from the upgrades. It’s a track where you certainly want to be on pole.
“I pushed it a bit more on the last lap, we did it in the end, very pleased for the team. “
On race: “I’m in the best position, these guys get good starts, I’m expecting a tough race. It’ll be interesting to see what tyre they start on.”
