US GP - Qualifying Report

Unusually, this was watched live.  Unfortunately that means you can't fast forward through ad breaks, Zak Brown getting a tattoo, Paul di Resta...

There were no unusual losses in the first Qualifying session, with Stroll, Latifi, Raikkonen, Schumacher and Mazepin.  Maybe Giovinnazi knocking Stroll out, despite a spin.

Again, after Q2, no surprises: Ocon, Vettel, Giovinnazi, Alonso and Russell (with the one timed lap set deleted for going over track limits) out.  Staying up late to watch was looking like a big mistake.

And it was, Vestappen took the pole position, with Hamilton in second.  Perez (who held pole after the first round of laps) was third and Bottas fourth.  We were told to watch out for LeClerc whose Ferrari is much improved.  He came fifth and couldn't challenge the top 4.
