During P3

• General Systems: Tyre starting pressures, fuel pressure, engine cooling system pressure, and engine high-rev limit bands were checked on all cars.
• Fuel & Power Unit: Fuel flow meter calibration, instantaneous and partial load fuel energy flow, fuel temperature, plenum temperature, and engine intake air pressure were verified.
• Energy & Software: Maximum turbocharger speed, PU and MGU-K reduction rates, DC sensor temperatures, ES state of charge limits, ERS recharge limits, and SECU custom software versions were checked on all cars.

Before & During Qualifying

• Gear Ratios: Confirmed for all cars.
