Difficult to say at this point. That would be very special but most people seem to think the Mercedes engine still has an advantage so with their low downforce package I can still see them having a margin.
Impossible to say now, there are tokens to be spent until Monza.

Yes, he was. Far more impressive than anyone has given it credit for being.

.2 slower vs. Rosberg in Q2 - and fastest in two of the three sectors - confirms just how close they are.

So frustrating about Kimi. Looks like second week in a row where his impressive race pace is compromised, but hope overtaking is easier here.

They've also got more engine tokens left than Mercedes and seemingly now an extra engine to use them on. Whether they'll win a race on merit remains to be seen, but I think they have a chance.

Raikkonen is an honourable man, he equalised lack of penalty with driving. Will they even run?

Yeah, maybe. Was much better than Kimi in Q1, tough to tell ultimate pace in Q2 because Kimi had traffic.

Anywaym put it this way: confirms how close the package is.

Rosberg tried to be smart and back off to watch Hamilton in the wet.

Looked more like he was going to try and squeeze two fliers out as the track dried, but the tyres would've lost too much heat by then.

James Allison says Ferrari can't race Merc in dry conditions.
