Story of qualifying: Hamilton, Vettel give reminder of what title fight could have been

AUSTIN, Texas -- Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel locked out the front row of the grid in Austin -- a result which would have been more tantilising for Sunday's race without Ferrari's recent spate of crushing misfortune which has swung the championship out of its grasp. Here's what else went down in qualifying.

Shock: Haas never looked like making Q3 this weekend but qualifying 20th was not something the team was expecting. The team has struggled with both cars at points this weekend and Kevin Magnussen was way off the pace in the opening session, finishing bottom of the order on a weekend when one corner of the COTA circuit has been christened #HaasHill.
