Toro Rosso confirmed in the lead-up to qualifying that Hartley would be unable to take part in qualifying due to the damage caused to his car, requiring several hours of 🍎repairs that could not be completed in the two-hour window following FP3.

Hartley will start the Spanish Grand Prix last on Sunday as a result, requiring permis꧑sion from the stewards to start the race as he technically will fail to qualify. This will be granted as a result of the New Zealander setting a representative time in practice.
