Q3 started without both Redbul's for the first time in recent memory and Lando Norris getting through marked the Mclaren mans 10th consecutive Q3 appearance despite their tough start to the season and both HAAS cars had made it to Q3 for the first time this year. F1's sporting advisory committee will study the potential ramifications before the idea is put up for formal approval in January.

Verstappen was joined on the podium by Driver of the day and teammate Sergio Perez. Perez Placed third on the podium after gaining six places.The safety car ended for the cars to start lap 8 and Collet went early and held his lead, Edgar in 4th out braked himself into turn 1 and handed the place to O'Sullivan and news came that Mansell was under investigation for a safety car infringement. Just 1 lap later Safety car number 3 was brought out for championship leader Bortoleto's ailing car pulling over on the side of the start of the Kemmel Straight after being hit from behind by Beganovic going into turn 1 causing suspension damage that meant he could not continue and would score no points in his effort to win the F3 title this weekend at Spa.

I have not yet looked at the angular dimensions bar cading it, but I suspect there is some machined in twist so that the crank runs true under power.

The race started as the grid crossed the line for a rolling start and immediately the wet tyres runners started to carve through the field with the car of Aron going from 11th to the lead by turn 7, others such as Montoya, Mansell and Sophia Floersch were also moving forward rapidly with Sophia up to 7th from 24th, what a mega couple of laps she had. Will we see a few of these names return again to stake their claim as the BTCC GOAT? Let's find out!If you want to be an F1 journalist, whether you start off by focusing solely on F1 or by covering other championships to work on the skills you need to build up, the learnings will be much the same – but often smaller categories can be easier to break into. The main thing is to have a way to build up a body of work that you can showcase and helps you to develop. Of course, no discussion about past or future BTCC legends would not be complete without talking about triple-winner and current championship leader, Ashley Sutton. Bortoleto had a real chance to win the drivers Championship this weekend with strong results in both races but rivals in the form of Zak O'sullivan, Josep Marti & Paul Aron were hoping to put a stop to that and take the championship to the last race of the season at Monza. Hamilton pipped Sainz to 5th with overtakes on Gasly, Alonso and Sainz in the closing 2 laps. We can't not mention Alex Albons brilliant drive from 17-7th either, well done that man!!!
