Stupid TV coverage, they didn't show how Hamilton passed Kimi when he slowed down in the last lap after his fail. Was there any interference or was it clean?
Why do TV coverage show stupid things instead of obvious interesting areas?

Seems like Vettel got a tow on the straight after the hairpin. Couldn't see who it was in front.

Max on Hypersoft tomorrow could be fun to watch.

Oh yes. Big factor tomorrow. Sadly Vettel has no protection from Kimi. Stickier tyres, cleaner side of the grid? Max could repeat last year. Just please without damage

Yes but that sector was yellow (not his best)

It was Kimi, but he was going quite slowly and Vettel just flew by. I would say there was not a big tow effect.

Congratulations to Ferrari and Sebastian Vettel. New PU versus a 6 race old Mercedes PU and they manage to put their car on Pole by 0.093 seconds! It's almost as if they're down on power. Let's pretend nothing happened and hit the reset button on the season. I believe we've got the answers we were looking for.

I wanted to see that as well, but this sort of coverage seems to be as old as time and honestly I'd say it's only going to get worse with the weird haphazard way Liberty is doing things.

It was clean, he didn't lose any time there.

You could even imagine that LH should had stick it on pole based on relative performances with Bottas. It makes the engine gap even scarier.

[ThumbsUp]

I think he will qualify 3rd and finish the race 2nd

Qualifying:
1 Lewis
2 Bottas
3 Max

Race:
1 Lewis
2 Max
3 Ricciardo

Based on gut feelings! Will wait and see what happens in practices

Nah, I don't agree.

It's a Ferrari ground, long straights and good traction out of the corners. Also the breaking is very crucial which I believe Ferrari is better at than Merc, and it's bumpy as hell which Ferrari seems to have the smoothest ride of all. Add that the engine upgrade that Ferrari are bringing and Merc is not... you have totally different picture.
My bet:
1. Vet/Rai 0.350 faster
3. Ham/Bot/Ver/Ric ---> very close.

Well it was not bad for a gut feeling! At least 2 out of 3 correct!

My next gut feeling says that Ferrari will have a hard race with the tires. At least on this track pole isn’t a must!

But im not sure how Hamilton gonna win this one.. maybe Bottas or Max will win this race

It certainly was possible. Maybe merc should have brought more hypersoft to allow Lewis to better get the feeling of them (near the limit), he had Lock ups in both Q3 runs now. He could have had pole.

Exciting quali session! Nice to have 3 teams and 6 drivers fighting for pole and drivers making a difference. Great laps by Bottas and Verstappen. There was even more in it for Vettel in my opinion, but job done all good.

Oh and Mclaren, they are in serious serious trouble.

[PlatinumZealot]

I am waiting for to hear the problem on Lewis' car! I do not believe it!

I'm glad someone noticed this

Completely clean, on the straight between 7-8, Kimi fully off line.
