Brazilian Grand Prix – Seb on the front row, Charles starts 14th

Q3. Both drivers comfortably made it through to the final part of qualifying, with the Monegasque managing to do so on the Medium tyre, which is will be important when it comes giving him more strategy options compared to his rivals running the Soft tyres. Both drivers did their best lap on their first Q3 laps given that a drop in temperature made it harder to improve the times. Sebastian posted a 1’07”631 to line up on the front row alongside Max Verstappen. Charles did a 1’07”728 which was the fourth fastest time, but he starts 14th tomorrow because of the ten place penalty for the engine change made this weekend.
