The second was the two-time world champion Max Verstappen (Red Bull), the top 3 was closed by George Russell. In the third segment, the British Mercedes driver flew into the gravel, red flags were hung over the track. After the resumption of qualifying, the rain intensified, so the pilots could not improve their time.
