Las Vegas GP qualifying analysis

Ben Hunt and Mark Mann-Bryans take up their putters and head to a mini-golf course to discuss qualifying at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Between swings, they dive into George Russell’s fourth pole position of the season, outpacing Carlos Sainz and the surprise third place qualifier, Alpine’s Pierre Gasly. The duo also examines the differences in pace between Russell and teammate Lewis Hamilton, who managed a frustrating 10th place in qualifying.

The conversation then turns to Franco Colapinto’s massive crash in Q2, as the Williams driver endured a 50G impact with the inside wall at Turn 13. This incident may force Colapinto to undergo a pre-race fitness evaluation before being cleared to start the grand prix. The crash adds to Williams’ recent woes, as the team has now experienced five major crashes across the last three race weekends, potentially hindering their development plans for next season.

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