However, there could be a twist in the tale after qualifying, with both Piastri and Gasly under investigation by the stewards over an apparent impeding incident during the closing stages of the session. Q1 had already brought a shock when Sainz — in the wake of his heavy FP2 crash — dropped out in a lowly P16, meaning the Ferrari driver faces another race-day recovery drive after an engine penalty in Las Vegas last time out enforced a midfield start.
