Ultimately, Verstappen came out with a P3. After qualifying, he could be heard furiously on his team's onboard radio. "Why don't these guys move out of the way! I'm on a fast lap," said Red Bull Racing driver.

There was no time for an extra lap after that lap. Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton will be ahead of Verstappen on the grid on Sunday as a result. Sergio Perez will start from fourth on the grid.
