Las Vegas GP qualifying analysis


Ben Hunt and Mark Mann-Bryans take up their putters and head to a mini-golf course as they discuss qualifying at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. 

Between swings, the duo discuss George Russell taking his fourth pole position of the season ahead of Carlos Sainz and a surprise third for Alpine’s Pierre Gasly. There’s also more discourse on the differences in pace between Russell and team-mate Lewis Hamilton, who qualified a frustrating 10th.

Franco Colapinto’s huge crash in Q2 was also discussed, as the Williams driver had a 50G impact with the inside wall at Turn 13 meaning he must undergo a pre-race fitness evaluation to start the grand prix. It also added to recent woes for Williams, as the British squad has now had five major crashes across the last three race weekends which could hamper its development for next season. 

Finally, Ben and Mark give their podium predictions for the grand prix, a race where Max Verstappen could clinch his fourth Formula 1 world championship.
