Summary
Haas ruled Oliver Bearman out of Spanish Grand Prix qualifying after damage from his FP3 crash left the VF-26 unable to run.
4 minutes from the end of Q1, Bearman remained in the drop zone alongside Alonso, Albon, Perez, Bottas and Stroll, underscoring how his absence reshaped the session.
50C track temperatures and a wall strike for George Russell added to a difficult Madrid afternoon, with Williams' Albon also having hit the wall in FP3.
Mercedes had led all 3 practice sessions before qualifying, while Ferrari consistently ran second-fastest and McLaren moved ahead of Red Bull in FP3.
