There's George Russell, and he's beached that Mercedes.
George Russell is now out of qualifying, and we've got a red flag as well.
OK, Kev.
What position are we?
You're P1, mate.
You're kidding.
I'm not kidding.
You're kidding.
You're f***ing kidding me.
I've never, ever felt like this with my life, guys.
It's not over yet.
Don't celebrate yet.
Come on.
It's not over yet, Kev.
We've got a green light, we're off and running again, guys.
But he's on intermediates, Ted.
No chance of doing a 1.11.6 on intermediates.
They were doing 18s and 19s in the beginning of Q1.
Look at the scenes down at Haas, whose owner, Gene Haas, is 70 years old tomorrow.
Happy birthday, Gene Haas.
How about this for a present?
You're on pole for the first time as a team owner.
And you know, through all their struggles last year at the back of the grid,
consistently, Kevin Magnussen, who thought he was out of Formula One
until he got the call up to come back and to come back to Haas.
What a fairy tale has absolutely happened for him here today.
And Kevin Magnussen will be on pole position for the sprint race here at Interlagos.
But as far as the stats are concerned, as far as the records are concerned,
the winner of qualifying is the man on the driver that gets polled.
That pole is Kevin Magnussen's.
Nobody is going to take that away from him.
And neither should they. Well done all.
I mean, it's so tough.
I mean, I come out of the car, I've just got a pole, come out of the car.
I have to talk to all you guys.
I haven't even properly seen the team yet.
It's incredible.
I mean, I just want to say thank you to Gene Haas and Gunther and the whole team
for taking me back on and giving me the opportunity to have a day like this.
You know, it's incredible. I'm so, so chuffed.
