From Castrol:
Edwards was heading for his best lap time of the weekend but ran wide into the last corner, through the gravel safety trap before powering back onto the track for his fourth pole position start of the year.

"The team have been telling me all weekend that I'm slow in the last section of the track so I went into that last chicane hard," Edwards explained. "But then I found myself hanging on through the gravel and on the grass."
