A very warm welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by me,
Ben Hocking, reviewing today, qualifying at Imola, or at least trying to.
A lot happened.
A lot happened in, well,
I was going to say an hour because that's usually how long qualifying takes,
but there's a good chance that this qualifying session will be longer than the race that we have tomorrow.
It's so long.
Sam was supposed to join me on this.
I hate to break that.
He's died of old age.
That's how long that qualifying session was.
It's been a while since I've done a solo review, so do bear with me, folks.
Again, there's a lot to get through.
Surprises, crashes, a double Aston Martin Q3.
I can't quite believe I just said those words, but it happened.
Unless it's going to be an interesting review.
We'll start out front because that's the bit that probably makes the most sense.
A McLaren this time of Oscar Piastri taking pole ahead of Max Verstappen but a close run thing.
