Traffic became a big issue for the drivers during Q1 with Fernando Alonso being investigated after the session for potentially impeding others. The Spanish driver lost control and span out in the last stages of the session causing a brief yellow flag, which hindered the last flying laps of others, including Lando Norris who was surprisingly eliminated and will now start the race tomorrow from the back of the pack.
Max Verstappen was being investigated by the Stewards for potentially impeding in the pit lane. George Russell was the next driver to be investigated for the same potential offence.

Although he got through to Q3 initially, his lap time was deleted putting him in 14th position.
