Qualifying for the 2023 Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix presented a wet Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya to produce a chaotic session.
Max Verstappen took pole in crushing style while Mercedes team-mates Lewis Hamilton and George Russell collided in Q2, damaging the former’s front wing.
Alpine’s Pierre Gasly received a six-place grid penalty for two impeding infringements, which dropped the Frenchman from an impressive fourth to 10th for Sunday’s race.
Oscar Piastri qualified 10th after a mistake in Q3, but due to Gasly’s penalties, the Australian rookie will start ninth.
Sunday’s race will begin at 15:00 local time/23:00 AEST.
