So, Magnussen starts the Brazilian GP sprint race from pole ahead of Verstappen, Russell, Norris and Sainz. Leclerc was the biggest loser in Q3 having not even set a lap time after going out on intermediates and starts 10th.

Such was the shock of that result, even Magnussen didn't believe his race engineer when he told him he was on provisional pole. It's non-league minnows beating a Premier League giant in the FA Cup levels of shocks!

Magnussen receives the Pirelli pole position award from Felipe Massa - who else at Interlagos - and I think that mini tyre will be the most treasured one of the season.

Magnussen, bless him, looks like he's not really sure what to do with himself. He gets weighed by the FIA scrutineering team as he gets plenty of congratulations from everyone up and down pitlane.

Magnussen hasn't taken his helmet off yet as he celebrates in the Haas garage, then gives Gunther Steiner a big bear hug as he walks down pitlane. He's got to go from the very end of the pit to the top to do the top three interviews.

That's the feelgood story of 2022 in F1, without a doubt. Magnussen in a Haas on pole for the sprint. What a moment.

It is just an out-lap for Hamilton who pits straightaway. The celebrations have started at Haas - their first ever F1 pole position, and Magnussen's first ever F1 pole position! Wow!

Officially, Q3 isn't over but the smiles and celebrations are starting at Haas. They don't want to celebrate too early, but this looks nailed on.

The Q3 clock is ticking down, there are five minutes to go, but nobody is heading out on track. In fact, Leclerc is out of his Ferrari heading to the pitwall and Verstappen is doing the same. This is all over, folks.

For the record, nobody got anywhere near the 1m11s laps on the intermediates earlier in Q1. Magnussen's pole time is 1m11.674s. Stranger things have happened but this is the Dane's pole all day long.

DRS has also been disabled, which, if anything, puts things more in favour for Magnussen. That time will be hard to beat in these conditions.

TV replays reveal what happened to Russell and it is a weird one. He locked up under braking for Turn 4, went into the gravel, and while trying to spin around and get back on track he spun back into the gravel trap and got beached.

Leclerc is not happy. He was told to pit by Ferrari just as he went down the main straight to start a timed lap on the intermediates. He never got to set a lap time before the red flag on the softs and is 10th.

The clock has stopped with 8m10s to go in Q3. Russell is OK but stuck in the gravel trap and is being recovered.

Leclerc continues to push on with his inter tyres, holding Perez up on the softs in the process, and this plan is not working for the Ferrari driver. He duly pits but is it too late?

Leclerc rolls the tyre dice, but all the teams are reporting the rain is on its way so they need to push all out on the softs now. Could it be too late for Leclerc to switch back to the softs?

Once again Magnussen heads the F1 car train at pit exit, with all Q3 contenders tucked up behind him. Leclerc is on the inters, everyone else is on the softs.

In the end, no huge shocks in Q3, but credit is due for Magnussen for getting his Haas into the top 10 shootout. He's joined by the pair of Ferraris, Red Bulls, Mercedes, Alpines and McLaren's Norris.
