- Oscar Piastri was penalized for impeding in qualifying and dropped back on the grid, promoting Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton into the second row.
- Kimi Antonelli set the seventh‑fastest time but will begin the race from the back after fitting a fifth power‑unit component, which exceeds the four‑unit allocation and triggers a grid penalty.
