Notes

  • Max Verstappen took pole position for the British Grand Prix by winning sprint qualifying.
  • Valtteri Bottas won sprint qualifying at the Italian Grand Prix but was forced to start the race from the back of the grid for use of additional power unit elements. Therefore, Max Verstappen, who finished second in sprint qualifying, was promoted to pole position.
  • Valtteri Bottas took pole position for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix by winning sprint qualifying.
