Mark Mann-Bryans and Jake Boxall-Legge review Qualifying on Day 3 of their Japanese Grand Prix coverage from the Suzuka International Circuit.
It was a stunning lap from Max Verstappen that took pole position ahead of both McLaren drivers, despite the Dutchman having no purple "fastest" sector times. Mark and Jake talk about how well Max had hooked the car up, as well as the minor mistakes from Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri that opened the door for Verstappen's pole.
There's also a discussion on yet another grass fire during the session, the chances of rain for Sunday's race, Isack Hadjar qualifying seventh despite a very uncomfortable seatbelt, and the surprise of Yuki Tsunoda being knocked out in Q2 and outqualified by his former teammate Liam Lawson.
