5 talking points from the 2018 Brazilian Grand Prix Qualifying

#1 Some drama out in the final run

There was drama for Lewis in the final run

Does Lewis consider himself a tad bit lucky to end up the fastest in the qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix?

As Lewis Hamilton eventually clobbered the rest on the grid to go fastest at 1:07:281, it was clear who the man holding the track position would be.

But this wasn't before some heart-stopping moments, to be honest.

During Q2, the Briton very nearly ran into the Williams of Russian driver Sergey Sirotkin at the middle of the track, the Mercedes evidently struggling for grips and unable to pick up the pace with the Williams running in from behind with significantly higher speed.

Thank god, there was no collision.

Interestingly, during this same lap, Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen would come in from behind in his run and dive into the left of Hamiton to emerge unscathed and move ahead of the Briton. While one can't exactly put a finger on who was at fault there, it's clear that this would've been a harmless qualifying incident which luckily didn't transpire.
