Going quickest as the drivers put in their final laps in Q3, he was relegated to fourth on the grid where he was 0.291s down on Lando Norris.

P4 though, was still his best for the season having previously grabbed P6s in
Silverstone and Singapore.

But that is now under threat after he was summoned to the stewards.
