Mercedes duo George Russell and Lewis Hamilton will start from second and third on the grid, followed by Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso and Ferrari's Carlos Sainz.Making his hometown Formula 1 debut, McLaren's Piastri was cut from the field after the first of the three phases of qualifying. "We adjusted the front wing a little bit for the last run, and maybe it wasn't the best," Piastri said."All weekend, it has been difficult to get the first lap going with the tyres because it's so cold … what we did was fine, just not quite good enough."
