Lewis Hamilton's victory ended with Brazilian Grand Prix qualifiers, Sebastian Vettel, but his German position was a while in danger, as after being qualified he was investigated. The Ferrari driver did not agree with this, while Hamilton was succeeded by Sergei Szirotkini, criticized for his later disrespectful maneuvers. More or less satisfied with Red Bull, Valtteri Bottas, but this can not be said – the Finnish driver is sure he would have earned the pole position based on his speed.

He got the pole position Lewis Hamilton At the end of Brazil's GP qualifier, the first quarter could have been broken by his car – Sergei Szirotkin was forced to drive the 44's Mercedes from the back in the lead. In the case, Hamilton is blaming Oman, which, in his opinion, has caused an irresponsible maneuver. The event is not a small surprise for sports leaders.
"Everyone was in the circle of the escort, myself, Sergei and the people in front of me Remember the British pilot. – Valtteri was just in front of me and took some time to make room for himself so I had to do it. I was sure I left enough space, and suddenly I saw a car getting up and I thought, gentlemen, could anyone be in a hurry? That's why I went to the left, but he came to the left, but it was not a quick trip so I do not know what he thought. We all know we have to leave enough space, but it was disrespectful. I tried to get out of the way, but then slow down the bend. It was a little strange and totally unnecessary, because there was a lot of space behind it, but hopefully you will learn from it. "
It was a strange autumn Sebastian Vettel even in the second stage of the qualification. The Ferrari driver demanded a random space under which he impatiently urged the timer's usual routines. In his car, the engine also came in and Vettel left the shooter alone – hurt it. For this reason, he began to try against him, but the sportsmen did not quit with him, but he was annoyed by the fall after the time guard.
"I think it's better if I do not say anything. I mean they should not challenge when circumstances change in this way, because I think this is unfair so I wanted to hurry. Obviously what happened" Said vettel
Third, he closed the qualification Valtteri Bottas, who is not happy with his result, because he is sure that his speed would have been a good start for him.
"I'm not far, but differences in this track are always small – says Finn. – I knew this weekend I got up to the pole, and I was there, but I did not get the start. At the second attempt I was better than two tenths of a second, but I missed everything in the last leg and back straight, which was quite depressing. "
The 6th place Daniel Ricciardo You can only start from position 11 on Sundays, but be sure of your car's performance. Of course, he is not happy to have snatched again from his teammate Max Verstappent, but because he did not decide who could start from first place, he did not deal very much with the smaller defeat.
"Max was two quarters faster, and this is the difference between the past. This battle did not go to the pole, so it's a little more tolerable – says the Red Bull driver. – Everything went well, but from the eleventh place I will have some work, but I feel I have the right car. At the end, it was not a bad speed with a little fuel, so we can be good on Sunday afternoon."
Max Verstappen is more or less satisfied with a new problem that often beat Red Bull at a qualifying level. The Netherlands, however, is not bothered by this because they know they would not have done much better with a little better performance.
"I think the car balance is not the best at the time, but I do not think it will change this world. We would be near Kimi so that's all. Hopefully, today's attitude will make it easier for me to be on sunday when it gets a little hotter " Verstappen sa.
Grand Prix in Brazil Sunday begins at 18.10 Hungarian time.
