Elbon will not participate in the sprint qualifying.

      Alex Albon will not be able to participate in the sprint qualifying after an accident during practice, where he collided with a groundhog crossing the track. Williams confirmed that they will not be able to repair the car in time for the start of the session.

      "After the incident with the wild animal on the track during practice, Alex will not participate in today's sprint qualifying.
