A high-speed accident after a wheel problem put paid to Lewis Hamilton in the final session, leaving Kimi Raikkonen to take pole. By MARK HUGHES In a heartbeat it changed from a Lewis Hamilton challenge for pole to hoping he was okay after suffering a huge impact at a 160mph corner. He'd just set the fastest first sector time, fired up after having failed to find a way round a defensive Felipe Massa on the out-lap, trying to find space. Realising that wasn't going to happen, he'd then backed right off, dropped 10 seconds back from the Ferrari before beginning the lap, his first on new tyres in the final session. The McLaren had felt pretty good thus far during the weekend, with a reasonable balance, though not quite as good as during the test at Spa the previous week where Hamilton described the car as "the best it's ever been". But it was still quick enough here to be nip and tuck with Ferrari, certainly much better than at Silverstone. It was all to play for. © 2020 Autosport
