Formula 1: Rosberg again the fastest qualifier

NULL

Nico Rosberg will be on pole position for tonight’s Brazilian Grand Prix. It’s the fifth race in a row in which Rosberg starts at the front of the grid, after being fastest in last night’s qualifying. His teammate, and current world champion Lewis Hamilton, is next to him on the front row, with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in third. Valtteri Bottas of Williams finished fourth in qualifying, but will drop back three places due to a transgression in practice, with Kimi Raikkonen and Nico Hulkenberg moving above him. Meanwhile, Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso made a joke of their teams on-going struggles. When his McLaren engine failed before completing a single lap, Button pretended to sunbathe on the track. He finished 17th in qualifying, with Alonso in last place, but both men climbed on the podium afterwards and waved to huge cheers from the crowd.
