This morning's Sprint hasn't only kept the teams busy, for the various incidents have seen the stewards continue working throughout the break, with no less eight currently under investigation.
No doubt one of the most significant is that involving Norris, who could well find himself with a grid penalty.
Russell was already due to start from the back of the grid, but there remains the question of whether his gearbox was damaged.
Spring winner has already said that the mini-GPs shouldn't be held on track such as this where overtaking is nigh impossible, which gives you some idea of his mindset heading into the hour.
Ferrari showed strong pace earlier, and will therefore be looking to make better use of this by qualifying higher than they did for the Sprint.
Courtesy of Russell's crash, Antonelli has been gifted a few more points, and while the Italian youngster can afford to take his foot off the gas we know that this is not in his nature, and despite appearing to have had an off weekend thus far, will be looking to give Verstappen a run for his money.
Despite showing promise yesterday, Gasly lost out earlier, while RB continues to pull away, and Haas and Audi look to build on their Sprint result.
