What :shock: ?! They have been on the podium at the first two races. If Hamilton wouldn't have taken Pole it would be last year all over again but beginning from the first race. Some of you people really have a short memory. Redbull is right up there at the sharp end.

Yeah, good banker from him, really annoyed they both messed up their last runs, it was going to be the only exciting thing about qualifying!

predictable quali apart from ric slightly surprising pace and Vettel underperforming. He appararently had a downshift problem and his car was all over the place, but he said it's not an excuse. Other big hitters such as alonso, hamilton and hulk also messing it up. Interesting

It wasn't meant to be serious, on the contrary, they complain about new engine rules and then benefit from close partnership with engine supplier (one of the three teams that can do that).

First dry qualifying and Rosberg ahead, if he wins tomorrow Mercedes should back him up for WDC. They'll win constructors anyway and need to counter Red Bull's possible comeback and their only one driver exists policy. Good to see how it backfired for Red Bull in Bahrain though.

Hamilton made the mistake and Rosberg takes it. Nico was just the faster man on the day. Hamilton will be on the dirty side tomorrow, that might make things interesting between him and Bottas.

Bottas is also on the dirty side, and Ricciardo will be outdragged.

Harder tires but cooler temps(track & air), very interesting
