@JayVonRed @F1 Very well spotted!

[Edd Straw @eddstrawF1]

@F1_AlmostMoves @glennfreeman39 @BBV10s @wearetherace It's a good job that it was Alliot, not Comas, given everybody who went past Comas that day seemed to do it under yellows and get a penalty

Carlos Sainz is in action for Williams today in Abu Dhabi. He had his first taste of the car on a filming day yesterday, but this is his first full day of running

[Andrew Benson @andrewbensonf1]

Mmm. Wonder what they’re talking about?

[Scott Mitchell-Malm @SMitchellF1]

I heard you Yuki. And asked Christian Horner...

"Speed-wise, we can see he’s fast. He’s experienced now, he’s making less mistakes.

"Everything is taken into account in any driver decision. We’ll weigh it all up after the season.

"The priority is to understand what the path is with Sergio.

"And of course, what you have to remember is the pressure of being Max’s team-mate is probably the hardest job in Formula 1."

We take a deep dive into the upcoming F1 movie on The Race F1 Podcast. Appropriately enough, recently caught the trailer in the cinema and couldn't miss the chance to capture Guenther Steiner peering down at me from the big screen

Albon had trouble with the brakes throughout qualifying, with radio chatter trying to chase the problem. When he crashed, his first reaction was it was because of a braking issue, although the team didn't immediately see anything in the data. The investigation continues...

[Alex Albon @alex_albon]

Today is a tough one to swallow when qualifying was coming along nicely. We don’t know what caused the crash but we’ll look into it, I feel for everyone in the garage, this was a race where anything could happen and I felt we could have done something great.

[Will Buxton @wbuxtonofficial]

Furious work going on down at Williams on Colapinto’s side of the garage. On Albon’s side, all quiet with gearbox not yet attached to car. Barring a minor miracle I’d suggest the driver was correct in his analysis that he would not be racing today.

[Edd Straw @eddstrawF1]

A great example there of how fortunes can turn round with different circumstances. Tsunoda and Ocon fell in SQ1 on Friday, but in today's wet qualifying they've both made the second row

[Sean Kelly @virtualstatman]

This is the first time ever that both Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen have failed to reach Q3 when both drivers have participated in a Grand Prix weekend #BrazilGP #BrazilianGP #SaoPauloGP

[Edd Straw @eddstrawF1]

Not surprised to see another car in the wall at Turn 3. A lot of drivers were having moments there and it was bound to catch someone out. Stroll was the one it bit in the end

[Edd Straw @eddstrawF1]

Albon locked up and had an off at Turn 1 before the red flag. Continued after cutting across the runoff but he has flatspotted at least the front-left. The team has told him they can take a new set of inters if necessary. "Tricky" was his verdict on impact of the flatspots

[Edd Straw @eddstrawF1]

Continued monitoring Stroll for the second part of Q1. He had a couple of push laps but didn't improve on his pre-red flag time. He could have done on the last lap but struggled for grip in the middle sector, even taking into account the conditions. Safely through to Q2 through

[Edd Straw @eddstrawF1]

Kept an eye on Stroll in the first part of Q1 before the red flag. He put in a lap to go sixth just before the stoppage. He's been given some feedback about the pace to be gained from taking a wider line in Turn 6 to make the most of the grip there
