Despite his placing Lawson was frustrated that his best time on the track came in the second session (Q2), and would have seen him a place up on his final qualifying position.
“It’s good to be in Q3, but it was very promising there throughout qualifying,” said Lawson.
“I don’t really know why, but we went slower in Q3. [There’s] some stuff to look into.
“We were feeling pretty good after Q2. Naturally everyone makes a step in Q3, and we didn’t.
“[It’s] frustrating, we had good potential. We need a good start and to try and stay where we are.
“It’s going to be a hard race for sure, it’s very physical here. It’s probably going to be a long day.”
Oscar Piastri took pole ahead of Lando Norris with Max Verstappen in third.
