F1 LIVE | Qualifying: Japanese Grand Prix 

We will have an hour-long qualifying session with all 20 cars this weekend. Logan Sargeant did crash his Williams in FP1, but fortunately, he did not have to sit out another qualifying session. So far, the two Red Bull cars seem to be the favourite to claim pole position, as Ferrari's long lap pace proved to be better.

Last year, Verstappen secured pole, with Oscar Piastri alongside him. It remains to be seen whether McLaren will get on the front row again this year, judging by the free practice sessions. After the first day, Mercedes also looked more promising than the British racing team.

After a busy FP3, it could be anyone's game, depending who can find the right set up in a shorter amount of time, as every team have to make up for the washed away FP2 session.
