Without LeClerc Lewis would've had 3 poles (Monza, Singapore and Sochi) in the last 4 races and we wouldn't even know about this Ferrari turnaround. Both drivers absolute monsters in Q3.
Was just about to say that. We'd have no idea how fast that Ferrari really is. It really feels like Lecler *IS* the savior Ferrari desperately needed.

Hamilton and Leclerc are killing their team mates. It will sound harsh but Vettel was partially a product of RedBull marketing like Ves is...

First time any team but Merc has got 4 poles in a row since 2014.
Yeah, this Ferrari dominance is sooo boring and bad for the sport.... :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now I'm convinced that Ferrari has figured out the tyres. Four races in a row. Turns out this car did have that speed in it that was shown in testing. They now have the tyres working in there optimum temperature
Not sure about Vettel, but Leclerc has indeed.

Yes I feel the same
Car was always fast, but it took half a year to stabilize it, understand it, use it.

What a shame, it could have been a tight battle the season

Seriously! This is so f***** boring to already know that they have the straight line speed to take pole. F1 is going in the wrong direction.

The next few seasons (once Vettel/Hamilton retire) with Leclerc vs Vestappen are going to be fun. The next generation have stepped up to the plate. =D>

Yeh, should only dominate every other Gp, or one in 3 if RBR pull their finger out

Leclerc's qualifying reminds me of an early days Raikkonen

Now that Ferrari managed to get poles at Monza, Singapore & Sochi, I think it's safe to assume they will dominate the 2nd half of 2019 season. These 3 tracks are very different from each other.

Is it me or does Leclerc look genuinely unhappy about something?

With that long way in to turn 1, I personally would want my teammate to be behind me

Race pace is still questionable. Will see tomorrow. Vettel definitely needs to overtake Hamilton before T2.
