I’m confused, Dani Ric is on pole. Red Bull didn’t sabotage one of their own cars. What’s going on?

Someone messed up and fitted Verstappen's tyres on Ricciardo's car!!
On a serious note, that was all Ricciardo. Verstappen was faster all weekend and Ricciardo nailed it when it counted. The look on Horner's face says he's very disappointed, even hours after qualifying. Verstappen disappeared into a hole somewhere. His speech after qualifying... well, he is well positioned to take the mantle of F1's resident petulant child when Vettel retires. |

Well... since Vettel can't win a race when he starts anywhere below 3rd on the grid, is it safe to bet your entire life savings on Hamilton winning the championship at the conclusion of this round??

Well done to both Saubers, in the top 10. And great effort by Fred to come 12th

This was his best chance, but it's not a done deal yet. Suppose it rains in Brazil during qualifying? Or rain-dry? We've seen Hulkenberg on pole there, too...

Same issue as in Singapore so a DNF for Verstappen looks quite likely.

I'm looking forward to this one, with Danny Ric on pole and both RBRs are on the front row. That's definitely put the cat amongst and should be an interesting start.
The big question though, is can Lulu clinch his 5th WDC today? He secured his 4th WDC title at Mexico last year. |

Or Dani Ric drove a little bit quicker than Max.

That was a clean start, 4 wide down the straight. Hamilton looked like he would take the lead but Verstappen had the line into Turn 1. Looks like Alonso went off at Turn 1.

Whoever is the director should immediately be fired.

That was bad timing, the VSC comes out as Sainz stops in the baseball stadium.

Good Perez Leclerc action there. Oh and a decent move from Vettel.

Blimey, Bottas went off at the same part of the track as Lewis.

Bad luck for Danny Ric, 8 DNFs.

Assuming they had some tyres left I’d have been tempted to pit Hamilton.
