We will have an hour-long qualifying session without Logan Sargeant. Alex Albon crashed during FP1 and damaged his chassis. Williams don't have a spare chassis so only have one car remaining this weekend. Albon has been given this car based on his performance versus Sargeant this season. Based on the practice sessions, there does not seem to be a big favourite for the fastest time, so it promises to be an exciting battle between several drivers who have a chance.

Last year, Verstappen secured pole, with George Russell alongside him. It remains to be seen whether Mercedes will get on the front row again this year. Judging by the free practice sessions, it does not look like it will happen, as Russell and Lewis Hamilton seem to lack considerable speed with their W15 for the time being.

McLaren and Ferrari, on the other hand, are in good shape and will have a shot at the fastest time? Will it be Verstappen on pole again, or will someone else run away with it?
