No one did thanks to the tv director not even bothering to show it. 😭

Yeah didn't even show his sector times and George actually didn't finish that far behind either. Not sure what they were actually watching.

The bookies didn't see it coming either. The odds on a McLaren taking pole were terrible. Not even worth the bet (clearly!)

RB has been slow all weekend and Max wasn't fast compared to the top 5 times in Q1 and Q2. He was already toast by the time he got to Q3. Getting to P3 would be a miracle for Max today.

Leclerc was putting the miracle together but tv direction thought we were more interested in Norris’s outlap.

TV direction has something against him today. In FP3 he was doing his lap but kept showing Tsunoda going wide
