Wordt kwalificatie GP Amerika afgelast en is Max de zak?
Raining are wide open in Austin (Texas) and that’s no bueno for the race weekend.

So was the second free training is already completely cancelled because marshals have their work under such circumstances it could not perform. It was also too poor for the medical helicopter to fly. Irresponsibly so, under which circumstances the session to continue.

If the situation calls for bar and stay angry, then it would just be that the qualification as a whole will not proceed. The starting point would then, for example, can be determined on the basis of the results in FP1 (FP2 or FP3) or the position in the championship, but there are circulating rumors on the web about starting on the basis of the starting numbers of the drivers. In that unlikely case, it is Valtteri Bottas the bag with the #77. The particular hypothetical polesitter is in this situation, no one less than Daniel Ricciardo (#3).

For Verstappen it would be pretty acidic if he for the race, indeed, no rounds can do more riding on the American circuit. Last year he drove in FP1, but this weekend he has only seven rounds on the counter. Many know he has not the circulation that this weekend is done. Nevertheless klokte Max in the first free practice, a very decent P7, so we’re not yet sure.

UPDATE 1: The third training session is for Max Verstappen not favorable. In the pouring rain, came the Dutchman no further than the 20th and slowest time. In total, he now has only 14 trainingsronden driven (in two hours) before he meets the qualification can begin. That qualification officially begins at 20:00 hours Dutch time. Or who is actually at the time fixed start is, however, still the question, due to the heavy rainfall and stormy winds in this part of Texas.

UPDATE 2: After several times of postponement, it was announced that the qualification on Sunday, it is moved. At 15:00 Dutch time, will the qualification take place at the American GP.

UPDATE 3: Results of the qualification HERE!
