Here's the report from a thrilling Russian GP qualifying session: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-russian-gp-norris-beats-sainz-to-maiden-pole-at-wet-dry-sochi/6674472/
Sainz had a wee spin at Turn 16 during that session - but regardless, he shares the front row with Norris. Who had Norris, Sainz and Russell as the top three on their bingo cards?
Top 10: 1. Norris, 2. Sainz, 3. Russell, 4. Hamilton, 5. Ricciardo, 6. Alonso, 7. Bottas, 8. Stroll, 9. Perez, 10. Ocon.
Hamilton hit the wall coming into the pits! New front wing for the Mercedes driver as he claims slicks!
It's Hamilton, Norris, Bottas, Alonso, Perez, Stroll, Ocon, Ricciardo, Sainz and Russell as it stands. Russell gets his slicks on.
Stroll goes third, with Ocon, Perez and Ricciardo behind, as Russell reckons it's tick-tock slick o'clock.
Still inters at this stage, but there's a non-zero chance we might get someone on slicks at the end.
Gasly also looked furious, storming out of his car and almost taking the monitor off its hinges above his head. Some unhappy lads.
Russell goes P11 on those, as Sainz takes on presumably fresh tyres to haul himself out of the relegation zone.
Latifi has gone out again, as Russell's on a quick lap now to try and get through on a fresh set of inters.
Latifi and Leclerc look certain to drop, and it's currently Tsunoda, Ricciardo and Russell in the drop-zone too.
