Qualifying

edit

The Qualifying session took place on 4 September 2020, with Théo Pourchaire setting the fastest laptime of the session. However, him, Smolyar, Chovet, Zendeli, Caldwell, Fernández, Beckmann, Vesti and championship leader Oscar Piastri were all penalized for blocking the track in Qualifying, therefore allowing Liam Lawson, who had initially set the fourth-best laptime, to inherit pole position.
