Magnussen was entering his 140th race weekend when he took his car onto the track for qualifying. K-Mag made it all the way to the third qualifier round, being just one of ten drivers in it. He would be one of the first cars on the track and set the fastest time. Soon afterwards rain would appear, forcing drivers to go to wet tires, slowing down the pace.
