The Brazilian qualifying is an important part for Hamilton’s championship because being in the middle of the pack more accidents happen which is not what Lewis needs. He just needs a solid points finish and there’s no better way of doing this than by winning the race.

Qualifying 1

In the first qualifying session the Ferrari’s seem to have been struggling a bit with under-steer, this might be because of the used tyres. But then at the end of the session Massa managed to get into first and Kimi into second position. Lewis Hamilton was safely through into Q2.

Fernando Alonso who wants to see a Ferrari win because of his grudge against McLaren finished Q1 in 4th position.
