The story was much the same in Q1, with both Aston Martins failing to make it out despite their upgraded chassis and power unit.
The Cadillacs were once again the slowest, with Haas’ Ollie Bearman just ahead. Then came the Astons, with Carlos Sainz unable to celebrate his Williams renewal, only managing 17th.
