Points of interest
Ricciardo qualified in 5th
Hulkenberg impressed by qualifying in 3rd
Verstappen qualified on harder tyres than those around him, which may yield slight advantage during the race.
Vettel failed to make the Q3 again
Edit: Ocon qualified 11 the but was deemed to have blocked Russell on his quick lap and was penalised 3 starting positions so he starts from 14th. Apparently it wasn't entirely Ocon's fault, Renault team failed to warn him in time of the fast approaching Russell.
