00:0415 seconds to go, so Daniel Ricciardo might be the last one to get to the line before the chequered flag,
00:12putting him in an ace position to get one more flying lap in at the right time, assuming no yellow flags of course.
00:19Bottas has been showing great pace all weekend long, finds himself down in the bottom five as Ricciardo goes fifth fastest,
00:26and I think he did get to the line, no he didn't make it, that is it for Daniel Ricciardo, he hasn't got another lap, he's now taken the chequered flag.
00:34Leclerc needs a decent lap time here, he's caught Sunoda up again, he's got to get this lap in.
00:40Alonso goes fastest overall, this is a worrying moment for Charles Leclerc, fifth fastest, Carlos Sainz's teammate behind him.
00:48There's a few more still out on laps to try and get themselves out of the bottom five, including this man Lewis Hamilton of course,
00:54Alex Albon goes third fastest, so he's nicely out of trouble. Hamilton, a bit unsteady, getting on the power there,
01:01Verstappen is down in 13th at the moment, Bottas is down in 19th, Mick Schiemacher hasn't made it out of qualifying,
01:06Kevin Magnussen has, he goes third fastest, Mick Schiemacher only 18th fastest, as Hamilton crosses the line, quickest overall.
01:13What then of Max Verstappen, here he comes, foot to the floor, Nicolas Latifi, only 14th, maybe a little bit at risk at the moment,
01:20as Verstappen goes fourth fastest, and Latifi is right on the cusp as Bottas only 17th fastest.
01:26A surprise there for Valtteri Bottas, he's had pace all weekend long. Norris goes quickest overall,
01:32and Lance Stroll finally gets out of Q1 here in Brazil as Sergio Perez goes fifth fastest. Mick Schiemacher slowest of all,
01:42whilst his teammate Kevin Magnussen seventh fastest. Yuki Tsunoda 19th fastest, Valtteri Bottas 18th,
01:48and Joe Guanyu 17th, and Nicolas Latifi, sadly for him, continues his run of Q1 elimination.
01:54Fernando Alonso goes quickest by just under two tenths of a second from Lando Norris,
02:05is now the time to be getting these laps in. With all the computing power that you need,
02:11the upturned palm is still a very useful reference guide to see if it's raining or not.
02:1718.4 for Lance Stroll through the first sector, going quite nicely,
02:22but would like to pick up a bit more time in the final pass.
02:25Yeah, it's definitely getting darker here, a bit of rain, like a bit of drizzle.
02:28And a lot of drivers now reporting rain, drizzle on their visors.
02:34Kevin Magnussen has put in some super laps during this qualifying session,
02:38finds himself P13 currently, that's not where he deserves to be at all.
02:42See what you give us now, Kev, as you cross the line you go seventh fastest.
02:46Alex Albon back out of the top ten.
02:49This is Sebastian Vettel on his flying lap. Lap ruined before he really got going.
02:57I think it's got a little bit too wet because we're not seeing any green sector times on our timing screens at the moment.
03:05That is it for qualifying two.
03:09Stroll and Ricciardo, Vettel and Gasly and Albon are the five that we've lost.
03:13A 1.116 for Kevin Magnussen as he crosses the line.
03:21Carlos Sainz, though, can't beat it.
03:231.123 for Carlos Sainz.
03:25Sergio Perez now is free from behind Charles Leclerc.
03:29Who is coming into the pits?
03:31Oh, there's George Russell and he's beached that Mercedes.
03:36George Russell is now out of qualifying and we've got a red flag as well.
03:41Let's have a look at it.
03:43Here we go.
03:45Under braking.
03:47And it's gone straight through the gravel.
03:49Trying to keep it out of the wall.
03:51Oh no, George.
03:53You did keep it out of the wall.
03:55Then you spun it into the gravel.
03:57By trying to correct himself the right way, he managed to beach the car.
04:02So easily done.
04:03It's like a big pendulum swinging.
04:05Okay, Kev.
04:07What position are we?
04:09You're P1, mate.
04:11You're kidding.
04:12I am not kidding.
04:14I've got to buy a bloody dinner if you're going to shout tonight.
04:17You're kidding.
04:19You're kidding me.
04:21I've never ever felt like this with my life, guys.
04:25It's not over yet.
04:26Don't celebrate yet.
04:27Don't celebrate yet.
04:28Come on.
04:29It's not over yet, Kev.
04:30We've got a green light.
04:31We're off and running again, guys.
04:33But he's on intermediates, Ted.
04:34No chance of doing a 1-11-6 on intermediates.
04:39They were doing 18s and 19s in the beginning of Q1.
04:44Look at the scenes down at Haas, whose owner, Gene Haas, is 70 years old tomorrow.
04:51Happy birthday, Gene Haas.
04:53How about this for a present?
04:55You're on pole for the first time as a team owner.
04:58And do you know what?
04:59For all their struggles last year at the back of the grid consistently, Kevin Magnussen, who thought he was out of Formula One until he got the call up to come back and to come back to Haas.
05:12What a fairytale has absolutely happened for him here today.
05:16And Kevin Magnussen will be on pole position for the sprint race here at Interlagos.
05:22But as far as the stats are concerned, as far as the records are concerned, the winner of qualifying is the man or the driver that gets polled.
05:30That pole is Kevin Magnussen's. Nobody is going to take that away from him and neither should they.
