"Together, we have decided that he will sit out this evening’s race and instead focus fully on returning to the cockpit for next weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix."

On the crash, Stroll said yesterday: "It was really bad. We had a bad outlap with traffic and there was no temperature in the tyres. There was no grip.

"I thought we were going out and I tried to push to make up some time, but it didn't work out."

Carlos Sainz will begin on pole with George Russell and Charles Leclerc behind him.

Red Bull had a disastrous qualifying session due to car problems and Max Verstappen will start in 11th and his team-mate Sergio Perez languishes in 13th.
