SAO PAULO -- After a battle for pole which came down to just three-hundredths of a second, a round-up of the main talking points from qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Shock: For the first time this year, Lewis Hamilton didn't make it out of Q1, creating the unusual situation of a pole position shootout without the newly-crowned world champion. It was still a tense battle for pole, however, with the gap just 0.038s between Valtteri Bottas and Sebastian Vettel when the chequered flag fell. It should make for an interesting race tomorrow, with Ferrari making a significant step overnight since Friday practice and Hamilton battling his way back from the rear of the grid.
