For those who are new to F1 or just to Qualifying rules, lets get straight into it! Qualifying is made up of 3 rounds, Q1, Q2, and Q3. First round, 18 minutes on the clock and all the cars get to go out and set fastest times. 6 slowest are knocked out. Same rules apply for Q2, but only 15 minutes - In Q3, it's 12 minutes and the final ten go out to see who gets Pole Position.
6 slowest and knocked out in Q1 were: Marcus Ericsson, Kamui Kobayashi, Max Chilton, Jules Bianchi, Adrian Sutil & Esteban Gutierrez.
6 slowest and knocked out in Q2 were: Felipe Massa, Pastor Maldonado, Romain Grosjean, Valtteri Bottas, Jenson Button and Nico Hulkenberg.
During Q1 however there was an accident between Massa and Ericsson, causing Massa to be unable to compete in Q2. Marcus Ericsson who qualified 22, was given a penalty and will now start from the pit-lane.
