Qualifying times place George Russell first, followed by Kimi Antonelli, Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and Lewis Hamilton, with Charles Leclerc, Max Verstappen, Isack Hadjar, Arvid Lindblad, and Carlos Sainz Jr completing the top ten. Nico Hulkenberg, Gabriel Bortoleto, Franco Colapinto, Esteban Ocon, Oliver Bearman, Fernando Alonso, Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll, Pierre Gasly, and Valtteri Bottas follow through twentieth. Bearman, Gasly, Bottas, and Albon start from the pitlane due to modifications outside parc ferme, suspension work, setup and suspension changes, and setup changes after a collision with a marmot. Free practice included a power steering failure for Liam Lawson, an Albon collision with a marmot, and an Ocon spin into a wall requiring a new nose.

Then it was Alex Albon, whose Williams was involved in a collision with one of the aforementioned marmots, following in the messy tyre tracks of Lewis Hamilton last year. Finally, Esteban Ocon spun his Haas into a wall and needed a new nos"
