Pole Norris. Good stuff

Great ending there - haha! Yuki and Lawson! Hoping for a surprise victory later.

Haven’t enjoyed a qualifying as much for a long time

Shame Hamilton wasn’t up there as I’d have him as favourite with Norris.

No Albon, couldn't complete repairs in time.

Unsurprising really

Did qualy take place? Race going ahead? No spoilers pls

 

[GoldenToffee]

Surely a career highlight for him that - what an honour!

He actually drove the car back in 2007 for a Senna Top Gear special (and at pace, rather than cruising), obviously a bit different doing it on Sennas home soil.

Yes and yes.

Probably the wrong thread to be in if you're worried about spoilers though

How many safety cars we going with then ? Im gonna say 2

I don't know why but I have a gut feeling Verstappen may win somehow, will require safety cars

Oh Stroll

 

[Wizard]

Lance Stroll is so rubbish

 

[longers]

Its the fact he put himself in the gravel afterwards that makes it even more hilarious

edit: wtf is going on lol

Wasn't that the MP4/4 from 88? Think he was driving the MP4/5 from 89.

The exposed roll bar on the 88 version is different to the enclosed version on the following year's.
