F1 Quals: Brazil 2015

Decent weather at Interlagos today, more's the pity, but the track is still naturally slippery.  So what's the grid like for Sunday's race?  Take a look:

Pos.	Driver	Team	Q1	Q2	Q3
1	Nico Rosberg	Mercedes	1:11.746	1:12.213	1:11.282

4	Valtteri Bottas	Williams	1:12.934	1:12.374	1:12.085
5	Kimi Räikkönen	Ferrari	1:12.185	1:12.243	1:12.144

11	Felipe Not Massa Nasr	Sauber	1:13.111	1:12.989
12	Carlos Sainz	Toro Rosso	1:13.267	1:13.045
13	Sergio Perez	Force India	1:13.140	1:13.147
14	Sony Ericsson	Sauber	1:13.346	1:13.233
15	Lettuce Grosjean	Lotus	1:13.056	1:13.913
16	Pastor Maldonado	Lotus	1:13.385
17	Jenson Button	McLaren	1:13.425
18	American Rossi	Marussia	1:16.151
19	Will Stevens	Marussia	1:16.283
NC	Fernando Alonso	McLaren	No Time

Not much to say about this, really.  Rosberg has taken his fifth consecutive pole, Alonso's McLaren died on track with yet another bum engine.

And the president of the FIA, Jean Todt, didn't so much step on a landmine as jump up and down on a landmine when he said to French TV station Canal+ "do you realise that the number of people killed in road accidents is by far bigger than the number of people who died in Paris yesterday?"  I understand he took the opportunity to promote the FIA's road safety program, but that was not the time.

Jean Todt is French, by the way, and the FIA's headquarters are in Paris.  Just saying.

Race in the morning.
