Lewis reported "derated" issue in FP3 ...
Now it is allowed to coach him?
What'should the solution to solve it?
I've heard he must reboot something ...what?

Q1 has been worrying for Nico but Q2 looks better, he has done a little mistake which perhaps has costed him to achieve a slightly better time. Ferrari is not that far from Mercedes though I expect them to push the "magic botton" as always. Q3 could be very interesting!!

Ferrari is looking good! I guess RB was not expecting this and perhaps their strategy could be damaged. (They will begin the race with supersofts).

Pretty good laptimes. Better than I expected. Almost beating 2011 rocketships.

Absolutely! Alonso did great again. This must be his 7/8 time in q3 and he's absolutely dominated the qualifying battle something like 15-5 now?

Nico just needs to maintain his position at the start tomorrow at least and stay close to Lewis. Hoping Alonso will get a top ten finish too.

Indeed a pretty damned impressive drive from Alonso to put the car up into P9 ahead of a Merc powered Williams.

He's always been good there I think rosberg had his work cut out but he's done well enough and the race is still tomorrow so hopefully rosberg just gets a good start and doesn't get a puncture from the cars behind trying a move.

I just hope McLaren and Honda can serve up a quick car for Alonso next year. I want to see him at the front where he belongs.

I wonder why no one besides Hamilton "opens up" the entry to that triple chicane.

It's weird we have this race since 09 and that's the first time i see someone do that, why no one, including Hamilton, tried that before?

Vettel must be not happy, he was doing a great lap but a yellow flag caused by Max has destroyed his chance of being thrird.

Wow, even with his mistakes Max still destroys Ferrari´s best chances. :mrgreen:
