00:0120 cars on track, all on soft tyres, 15 seconds to go, so Daniel Ricciardo might be the last one
00:10to get to the line before the chequered flag, putting him in an ace position to get one more flying
00:16lap in at the right time, assuming no yellow flags, of course, Bottas has been showing great pace all weekend
00:22long, finds himself down in the bottom five as Ricciardo goes fifth fastest, and I think he did get to
00:28the line, no he didn't make it, that is it,
00:30for Daniel Ricciardo, he hasn't got another lap, he's now taken the chequered flag, and Leclerc needs a decent lap
00:35time here, he's caught Sunoda up again, he's got to get this lap in, Alonso goes fastest overall, this is
00:42a worrying moment for Charles Leclerc, fifth fastest, Carlos Sainz's teammate behind him, there's a few more still out on
00:49laps to try and get themselves out of the bottom five, including this man, Lewis Hamilton, of course, Alex Albon
00:54goes third fastest, so he's nicely out of trouble, Hamilton, a bit unsteady,
00:59getting on the power there, Verstappen is down in 13th at the moment, Bottas is down in 19th, Mick Schiemacher
01:05hasn't made it out of qualifying, Kevin Magnussen has, he goes third fastest, Mick Schiemacher only 18th fastest, as Hamilton
01:11crosses the line, quickest overall, what then of Max Verstappen, here he comes, foot to the floor, Nicholas Latifi, only
01:1814th, maybe a little bit at risk at the moment, as Verstappen goes fourth fastest, and Latifi is right on
01:24the cusp,
01:24as Bottas, only 17th fastest, a surprise there for Valtteri Bottas, he's had pace all weekend long, Norris goes quickest
01:32overall, and Lance Stroll finally gets out of Q1, here in Brazil, as Sergio Perez goes fifth fastest, Mick Schiemacher,
01:41slowest of all, whilst his teammate Kevin Magnussen, seventh fastest,
01:44Yuki Tsunoda, 19th fastest, Valtteri Bottas, 18th, and Joe Guanyu 17th, and Nicholas Latifi, sadly for him, continues his run
01:53of Q1 elimination, Fernando Alonso goes quickest,
02:01by just under two tenths of a second, from Lando Norris, is now the time, to be getting these laps
02:08in, with all the computing power that you need, the upturned palm, is still a very useful reference guide, to
02:15see if it's raining or not, 18.4 for Lance Stroll, through the first sector, going quite nicely, would like
02:23to pick up a bit more time in the final part,
02:25Yeah, it's definitely getting darker here, a bit of rain, like a bit of drizzle, and a lot of drivers
02:29now, reporting rain, drizzle, on their visors.
02:34Kevin Magnussen, has put in some super laps, during this qualifying session, finds himself P13, currently, that's not where he
02:41deserves to be at all, see what you give us now, Kev, as you cross the line, you go seventh
02:45fastest, Alex Albon, back out of the top ten,
02:49This is Sebastian Vettel, on his flying lap, lap ruins, before he really got going, I think it's got a
02:58little bit too wet, because we're not seeing any green sector times, on our timing screens at the moment, that
03:05is it, for qualifying two,
03:08Stroll and Ricciardo, Vettel and Gasly and Albon, are the five that we've lost.
03:16A 1.11.6 for Kevin Magnussen, as he crosses the line, Carlos Sainz though, can't beat it, 1.12
03:23.3 for Carlos Sainz, Sergio Perez, now is freed from behind Charles Leclerc, who is coming into the pit?
03:31Oh, there's George Russell, and he's beached that Mercedes, George Russell, is now out of qualifying, and we've got a
03:39red flag as well.
03:42Let's have a look at it, here we go, under braking, and it's gone straight through the gravel, trying to
03:50keep it out of the wall, oh no George, you did keep it out of the wall, then you spun
03:55it into the gravel.
03:57By trying to correct himself the right way, he managed to beach the car.
04:02So easily done, it's like a big pendulum swinging.
04:06Okay, Kevin.
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 and put a chance at night.
04:17You're kidding.
04:20You'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.
04:27Come on.
04:28It's not over yet.
04:28It's not over yet, Kevin.
04:30We've got a green light.
04:31We're off and running again, guys.
04:32But he's on intermediates, Ted.
04:35No chance.
04:36Yeah.
04:36Of doing a 1-11-6 on intermediates.
04:40They were doing 18s and 19s in the beginning of Q1.
04:45Look 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.
04:59And do you know what?
04:59For all their struggles last year at the back of the grid consistently, Kevin Magnussen,
05:05who thought he was out of Formula 1 until he got the call up to come back and to come
05:11back to Haas.
05:12What a fairy tale 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,
05:26the winner of qualifying is the man on the driver that gets polled.
05:31That pole is Kevin Magnussen's.
05:33Nobody is going to take that away from him, and neither should they.
05:36Well done all.
