American GP: Qualifying - Re-Cap & Results

Qualifying was a slight bit different this weekend due to the absence of Caterham and Marussia.

So, the rules were changed and instead of the usual 6 cars out in Q1 and Q2, it was just 4 cars out in the respective rounds. In Q3 however, it was the usual 10 battling it out for the final 10 positions, including Pole Position.

For more details on how qualifying works, check out one of our previous qualifying re-caps.

Sebastian Vettel will be starting from pit-lane due to a complete engine change. Kvyat has a 10-Place-Grid-Penalty due to replacing his engine as well and Button has a 5-Place-Grid-Penalty for a gearbox change.
