Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli qualified fourth despite setting the fastest time in final practice. A lap was deleted for exceeding track limits in Q2, and he had only one attempt in Q3. [1]
Speaking to Viaplay in remarks reported by RacingNews365 on 3 October, Antonelli said Max Verstappen had been too quick in qualifying. He reckoned that even an excellent final lap would have put him no higher than second or third. Antonelli said having just one attempt added pressure, while going out on an empty track meant missing the extra grip he would normally expect later in the session. [1]
Antonelli also said Mercedes needed more time to understand its car on the rough, warm track. He hoped the team would have a clearer picture in Singapore, where he expected better asphalt conditions. [1]
