The Mercs probably have a fire button to eject that T-Wing into a competitor closing from behind. :D
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

What happened to Ferrari? losing the development war already. Great lap from Valteri, Lewis dropped the ball in the middle sector but this is a track you can overtake on so its sets up a great race for tomorrow :D

Hamilton's body language doing the weigh-in suggests he's not a happy bunny.

Indeed, nice lap Bottas.

Gonna be interesting tomorrow. From the long run stints from FP2 according to AMuS, it looked like Hamilton had the strongest race pace by a bit of a margin. Will we see team orders if Hamilton looks quicker during the race?

Ferrari quite a bit behind. Somehow saw that one coming. Maybe a result of the floor less bendy as some reports said during FP?

- Bottas, anyone still worried about his speed? Told you he needed to put some pressure on Ham and that's precisely what happened.

- Grosjean in POS Ferrari knock-off by Dallara in Q3 again.

- Merc in front and RB closer, Bahrain looked like a track less affected by '17 changes.

- Remember that Stroll replaced Massa #-o , aged and way past his best Massa is over 0,5 s quicker. Imagine where Williams would be if they had two drivers with a pulse.
