There was a bizarre incident in Q3, when the airbox cooler was left on Alex Albon's FW46 as he left the pit lane.

Lando Norris was the shock early elimination of the session, after the British driver was knocked out in Q1, having had to abort his final qualifying lap due to the Esteban Ocon-induced yellow flags.
