New technical directives have come into place for qualifying at the Spanish Grand Prix — but will it be enough to keep McLaren off the front row of the grid?

Here, we have the full F1 results from qualifying at the the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

F1 results: Q1 at the Spanish Grand Prix

The first drivers to hit the track were those expected to trend toward the bottom of the timing sheets: Lance Stroll, Alex Albon, Franco Colapinto, Esteban Ocon, and Oliver Bearman.

Yet when the faster cars hit the track to set their early times, the results weren’t exactly a shock: Oscar Piastri instantly hopped to the top of the charts in a weekend that has been entirely dominated by McLaren thus far.

Unfrotunately, Colapinto’s Alpine seemed to stall at the exit of the pit lane, with the rest of the field stuck behind him. He did manage to scoot out of the way ever so slightly, allowing his competitors to move past.

Colapinto then stopped beside the track at the end of the session, leaving him without a strong time to make it on the board.

Yuki Tsunoda had a disaster lap, leaving him dead last in the order.

Knocked out in qualifying were Nico Hulkenberg, Esteban Ocon, Carlos Sainz Jr., Franco Colapinto, and Yuki Tsunoda.

Bolded drivers have been eliminated from the first qualifying session.
