Lewis Hamilton will start in first place for tomorrow’s sprint race after finishing fastest in qualifying.. Hamilton said: “I’m so happy to be back here in Brazil. The irony is that it doesn’t secure a race pole… but a Sprint pole. Hamilton nails a 1:08.107 to go top with Bottas 0.362 seconds behind him in second. Hamilton goes fastest with a 1:08.068 followed by Bottas 0.358 seconds behind and Verstappen third. It is currently Hamilton followed by Verstappen, Bottas, Gasly and Leclerc. And when he does get through the line, it is a 1:08.386 for Hamilton. He will need to go again to start at the front of the Sprint race.
