Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen admitted he was very disappointed with himself after he lost his rear-end in the last turn of his hot lap.
Raikkonen looked to be heading to his first pole position as he had two purple sectors in his final hot lap, but the Finn lost control of his Ferrari in the final turn of the lap. This cost him more than a second, meaning that he'll start from P6 instead.
"I lost control when coming out of the last corner because I had too much speed," Raikkonen said.
"Because of that, I lost a lot of speed on the straight.
"If I hadn't made that mistake, I would've been in a much better position.
