Q1
Due to standing water on the track, the session was delayed for 46 minutes. Sebastian Vettel was the first driver to go out in the Ferrari. The first time fo the German was 1:24.235 min. The fastest lap time was improved almost every 10 sec. With 5 minutes to go the following drivers had to improve to not be eliminated for Q2. George Russell (Williams), Sergio Perez (Racing Point), Pierre Gasly (AlphaTauri), Antonio Giovinazzi (Alfa Romeo) Grosjean (Haas). Grosjean didn't set a lap time, because he had a fuel pump problem on his Haas VF-20.

With 13 seconds to go the session was red flagged, because Giovinazzi spun of in turn 9 and hit the barrier, drove and had to stop his car on a dangerous place on the track. Lewis Hamilton was quickest at this point with a 1:18.188.
