=== Background[edit] ===
==== Tyres[edit] ====
The tyre compounds provided for this race were the hypersoft, ultrasoft and supersoft.[4]
=== Practice[edit] ===
Hamilton led all 3 practice sessions. FP2 had a massive crash for Lando Norris at Turn 10, the McLaren driver losing the back end and crashing heavily into the inside retaining wall. Norris was uninjured but was unfit to run FP3 but returned for qualifying.
=== Qualifying[edit] ===
Q1
* Hamilton was fastest in a rather straightforward session. As the session winded down, the bottom half attempted to set faster times. Pierre Gasly was the surprise as he had been running near the back all weekend in practice. The 5 eliminated were Romain Grosjean, Kevin Magnussen, Daniil Kvyat, George Russell and home hero Nicholas Latifi
Q2
* Hamilton was fastest again. Alexander Albon spun at turn 4 on his first flying lap but continued. As the session ended, the 5 eliminated were Lance Stroll, Kimi Raikkonen, Antonio Giovinazzi, Pierre Gasly and Lando Norris, who didn't set a time after a gearbox change and some pain in his hips
Q3
* Hamilton was fastest from teammate Bottas. The Ferrari duo of Vettel and Leclerc were initially 3rd and 4th until at the checkered flag, Max Verstappen went 3rd to split the Merc's and Ferrari's. Ricciardo and Ocon beat Albon after a miscalculation on Albon's pitbox opted for him not to set a new time in hopes of no track improvement. Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez completed the Top 10
