The No. 07 Toyota Gazoo Racing steals away pole from the No. 50 Ferrari by 0.024s. The No. 51 Ferrari sister car sits in third running a tenth slower than their teammate. Antonio Giovinazzi in the No.51 Ferrari AF Corse 499P had taken pole position with pole lap of 2m00.77s but time was deleted due to a track limits violations forcing him to settle for third. Toyota Gazoo’s Kamui Kobayashi took over pole position due to this violation. He had a spin out in the session as well but was able to save the car from any catastrophic damage. The No. 08 Toyota Gazoo GR010 did not participant in qualifying as driver Brendon Huntley crashed on the preparation lap.
