#2 Gasly in the points

Pierre Gasly snuck into the final part of qualifying and held onto P10. He looks likely to move up at least one spot due to Daniel Ricciardo’s penalty. The Frenchman has yet to score a point in Brazil but with his position on the starting grid this year, he might be able to manage it.
The other Toro Rosso of Brendon Hartley stuck to seventeenth place and it goes to show how well Gasly performed during the session. The 22-year-old is set to fill in a seat at the sister team of Red Bull Racing for the upcoming season and proving his mettle early on would help him immensely. Especially so with the rapid chopping and changing that has become common with the drivers for the Milton Keynes based outfit.
The Grand Prix at Interlagos would provide Pierre with an opportunity to also score a few points which would come in handy for him to move up the points table.
