Honda announced that Marquez will have an operation following the Mugello race in Minnesota in America. Marquez badly broke his right arm at the Spanish Grand Prix in 2020, which ultimately ruled him out of that entire campaign as he underwent three operations on the injury.

Gasly had placed inside the top 10 in all three practice sessions in Monaco, ending Saturday’s FP3 session fifth-fastest, but was eliminated in 17th place at the end of Q1.

Qualifying was run under spots of rain as thunder rumbled around the Mugello circuit on Saturday afternoon, with Q1 initially beginning on wet tyres before a switch to slicks despite marshals still waving rain flags.

After the twice red-flagged qualifying period, it was Leclerc who earned the all-important pole for Sunday’s Grand Prix on a track where overtaking is famously difficult.
