Finished eighth in the third and final qualifying session (Q3), the Spanish Ferrari driver thus drops to 11th position on the grid.

Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg was also hit by a three-place penalty, after the Canadian GP stewards found him guilty of committing a violation during the red flags in qualifying.
