Logan Sargeant hit the wall hard, causing a red flag in the first session of the 'sprint shoot out.' Nyck de Vries will not only start last in the Grand Prix on Sunday but also in the sprint race. He was denied the opportunity to set another fast time by the red flag.
Not only for Nyck de Vries were the grapes sour, but also Guanyu Zhou, Valtteri Bottas, Yuki Tsunoda, and Pierre Gasly (in this order P16 to P19), as they did not get another chance to improve their times.
