Brazil 2011 - Qualifying - Who will take the final pole position of the season?
Published by Christine
The chaos of the Brazilian race usually means that overtaking is high, but that doesn't make qualifying any less important. Particularly on this, the last race of the 2011 season - where no championships are at stake, and all that is left to do is prove to your team that you are the best driver for the job. So far, Red Bull and McLaren have dominated the weekend, as per usual, but could we see a surprise pole position as Nico Hülkenberg provided this time last year?
The session gets underway at 4pm GMT with the BBC providing all the build up an hour beforehand.
