Ferrari seems to have upped their pace Vettel in 1.24 on super softs.. but Hamiltons time on softs was impressive

Seb was on route for a 1:24.5, backed off in 3rd sector. Keeping low profile or because of car in front, not sure... Seems that Merc are Ferrari on the same pace...
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

It was a gearbox problem according to Autosport.

Horner (on Sky F1) is expecting Lewis to be having "4 or 5 tenths over the field and after that, things look tight!".
