September 30, 2017 Lewis Hamilton takes Malaysia pole as Vettel fails to qualify

Lewis Hamilton takes Malaysia pole as Vettel fails to qualify

Sebastian Vettel may have been hoping for a slightly calmer weekend in Sepang than he had in Singapore, but that was not to be. The Ferrari driver found himself down on power in the first qualifying session, returning to the garage at a slow crawl. The team tried to patch up his power unit but found themselves unable to send him out again, meaning the German failed to qualify. He’s been given permission to race by the FIA, but will be at the rear of the field.

His bad luck meant the way was clear for Lewis Hamilton to snatch an easy pole position. Kimi Räikkönen tried his best to keep tabs on the Mercedes but had to settle for second, with the two Red Bull drivers behind him. Bottas was down in fifth. Both McLarens made it into the top ten, whilst Gasly was out in Q2 alongside his teammate, just a tenth of a second down on Sainz in his first F1 qualifying session.

September 30, 2017 Drain cover chaos halts practice in Sepang

Drain cover chaos halts practice in Sepang

There was drama in both free practice sessions in Malaysia, but for two different reasons. In FP1, the start of the session was delayed by thirty minutes because of the rain, and things got going only to find drivers slipping and sliding their way around the track. Pierre Gasly made his debut, whilst Sergey Sirotkin, Sean Gelael, Charles LeClerc and Antonio Giovinazzi were all also in action.

In the second session, the action was running slightly more smoothly, with just a few drivers hitting the gravel – including Bottas and Hamilton. However, FP2 had to be red flagged early when Romain Grosjean’s Haas hit a loose and upended drain cover. The Frenchman was sent into the barriers at high speed although he was uninjured – if a little surprised and shocked at the unusual crash. Vettel was the fastest driver with Räikkönen behind, differing from FP1 which was led by the Red Bull pair.

Amongst the raft of renewals and contracts that are being signed and extended in Formula One at the moment, we’ve had news that the Chinese Grand Prix will continue until the 2020 season with a three year extension.

The race has been on the F1 calendar since 2004, and whilst it arrived with a bang, it’s gradually become less popular and has struggled with visitor numbers in recent years.

The contract announcement also came with the news that the race will likely change dates next season, where it was originally scheduled to take place on 8th April. Although it has yet to be confirmed and ratified by the FIA, the change looks to be a direct swap with Bahrain, which was set to take place on the 15th April. The date change is ideally supposed to help China with visitor numbers as the 8th was a national holiday where most residents leave the Shanghai city for other areas.
