Nico Hulkenberg missed the Q3 and had to settle for the eleventh place. Behind him, Stoffel Vandoorne, Sergey Sirotkin, Charles Leclerc and Romain Grosjean were the other four drivers who were eliminated in the second part of the qualifying session.

Brendon Hartley narrowly missed the qualification for Q2 and had to settle for the 16th place. Behind him, Marcus Ericsson, Lance Stroll, Kevin Magnussen and Max Verstappen were the other drivers eliminated in the first part of the qualifying session.
