Canadian GP: Qualifying - Re-Cap & Results

Time to see how the Grid is lined up for the Canadian GP in the morning. For those of you who don't know the rules of Qualifying, or how it works, let me go over it for you.

Qualifying is all about who starts at the front of the grid (Also called Pole Position) And all cars get a chance to fight for that position. Qualifying is split up into three sessions. Session one is 18 minutes, session 2 is 15 minutes and session 3 is 12 minutes.

So, Session 1, 18 minutes on the clock and all 22 cars will usually go out and try to set the fastest times that they can. However, yesterday it was only 21 cars, as Esteban was unable to take part, after an accident earlier on in Free Practice 3, damaged his chassis. Esteban will start tomorrow's race from the Pt-Lane.

After the 18 minutes were up, the 6 slowest cars, (They include Gutierrez as one of the 6, in order to apply to the rules.), got knocked out and will start in their respective places on the grid. The 6 slowest were: Esteban Gutierrez, Pastor Maldonado, Max Chilton, Jules Bianchi, Marcus Ericsson and Kamui Kobayashi.

Session 2 then started and the remaining cars went out and set laps. The 6 slowest at the end of the 15 minutes were: Adrian Sutil, Daniil Kvyat, Romain Grosjean, Sergio Perez, Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg.

After the 3rd and Final session, the last 10 cars were done and were to start wherever their times had placed them. Sometimes, there is penalties later after the session, so I tend to wait to post this until the grid is final and official. So, here is how the revised grid looks for the race.
