during final practice for the Formula One Grand Prix of Brazil at Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace on November 11, 2017 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen will start the penultimate race of the 2017 Formula One Championship season from the second row of the grid after finishing the third and final qualifying session in fourth place on Saturday afternoon.

The Flying Dutchman will start alongside the Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen and behind the other Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel, however, as we have seen in various races this season, anything can happen at the start and if one thing is certain, Max won't disappoint as he attempts to get the best result possible.

Even if they weren't fast enough on Saturday to beat the boys from Maranello and Brackley, Red Bull has proven that they have the race pace needed to take victory if everything else falls into place, including maybe a shower or two …

"I think we maximised the result in Qualifying today but we were just not fast enough,” he said. “In general the pace has been simply not quite good enough across the whole weekend. I think both Daniel and I have been chasing the car balance and we could never find the full grip and potential. In Qualifying the grip was a little bit better; we lose a lot of time on the straights here but I think there are also one or two tenths we could have found.”

"I never expected to beat Ferrari and Mercedes on this track as it's just not strong for us, but I did expect to be a little closer. For sure I would love some rain in the race, but I don't think it looks like that's going to happen. Maybe I will do some praying tonight! We may need a bit of luck to be honest, but you never know what can happen up front and it can still be an exciting race."
