I knew the bulls would be fast around here, sector 2 isn't enough to erase the pace advantage they have in sectors 1 & 3. Even with the qualifying deficit Max or Dan both have a chance to notch up another win, should anyone make a mistake up front, hell even a bad strategy call.

You must have missed that memo saying Dan is taking fresh PU parts this weekend and is most likely going to start last.

VER winning isn't that outlandish, especially given the likely wet qualifying...

You're right, I did, duly noted. You never know though, safety cars can change everything.

Will Ricciardo participate in the Q?

Will Ricciardo participate in the Q?

They will probably do what Lewis did in Spa 16, do 1 lap in Q1 then call it a day.

AMuS analysis suggests longrun pace is pretty even across Ferrari and Merc. Possibly a tad in Mercedes favor. It will come down to qualifying, i guess.

[Zynerji]

Qualifying should definitely be a nail biter in q3...

Awesome!

Rain today?

Rain today?

It’s raining right now, but should stop towards 11 am (local time). There is about 20% rain possibility for Qualifying.

Rain is Merc's only chance.

Rain is Merc's only chance.

What makes you think they have the best package in the rain? I think they would prefer dry with cooler temperatures thanks to cloud cover.

[Webber2011]

Wouldn't rain help RBR ?
It does tend to mask power disadvantages.

That said, who do you guys think would be better out of Merc or Ferarri in the wet ?

[GPR-A duplicate2]

Rain is Merc's only chance.

Was that the case in the last 3 qualifyings?

[F1NAC]

Based on last wet quali, Ferrari went really bad. (Was it Monza? Last wet Q?
