The postponement of the qualifying session is related to the typhoon Hagibis. That way, after this qualifying event the drivers will immediately race four hours after the qualification is completed.
Meanwhile, the third pole position will be Vettel’s teammate at Ferrari, Charles Leclerc who recorded a time of 1’27,253 seconds. The third position was won by Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes).
