What a session! Loved every second of that.
Advantage Norris so far, but Verstappen isn’t out of this yet. The race is going to be chaos and with safety cars, red flags etc he’s still got a good chance to win it with the pace he has.
I can’t see Albon starting the race unless put him in Colapintos car if needed, but there’s no chance they can rebuild that in time. Alonso, stroll and Sainz will also likely be pit lane starts which should bring Verstappen up to P13.
If the race is have as crazy this will be a weekend to remember.

Absolutely: a great quali for neutrals.
My only concern is I hope as many cars as possible can be rebuilt to take the starting line.

I wouldn’t be surprised if all who crashed started from the pit lane.

Sadly, you’re wrong: Williams have announced that Albon won’t make it.

What a qualifying, & overall, a very mixed-up starting order for the race.

Wow what happened to Hamilton. So bad and his car is all over the place. Russell really make him look mediocre.
Hope he will perform better at Ferrari otherwise it is just embarrassing.

I agree, it’s sad to see now. I think he’s just declining at a very fast rate. Surprising because he was very good last years but I think his age has just caught up with him now.

Russell should be given a slam-dunk “unsafe rejoin” penalty.

isn’t Sainz starting from the pitlane?

I like this Qualy and race on the same day – jeopardy at its finest in these conditions
