Qualifying got underway a few hours after the last practice session and it was Nico Rosberg who took Pole Position for the Japanese GP. However, Daniil Kvyat was unlucky when he crashed at the end of Q3 and his car flipped over. Kvyat was uninjured but was forced to start the race from pit-lane after Red Bull had to rebuild his whole car.
The session was Red-Flagged with only 30 seconds left and was not restarted, leaving some drivers with no time for a final lap. Max Verstappen got a grid-penalty after an unsafe stop during Qualifying, when the car malfunctioned and he left it parked on the circuit.
Here are the results.
