The Official 2018 Abu Dhabi GP *** Spoilers***

Alonso through to Q2. Slightly sad that this is an achievement, but a positive note for his final quali.

Torro Rosso Honda just gone boing cant wait for Horner to start with the excuses next season when they struggle and Danny Ric sails by in his Renault. Karma is a brutal force just look at what happened to Vettel after his out burst at the British GP.

As do I. I think (or at least hope) we could be in for a very good season next year with 3 different teams running 3 different engines all competing for wins.

Honda and Torro Rosso seem to have been quietly plugging away all season, occasionally showing what they're capable of, especially towards the end of the season. That Honda engine will be good next year, maybe not the outright best engine on the grid but shoved into a Red Bull it'll be a good combination!

Is there anyone who would be quite happy to be confronted by their previous posts?

Hamilton on fire.

Awesome lap from Hamilton.

[The Vambo]

One of those otherworldly half a second from nowhere laps from Hamilton.

[johnxjsc1985]

Hamilton really is getting better with age isn't he. Max 1.5 sec down???

7/10ths in fact. It's disdainful.

Wonder what he will say about it after?

I am chuckling to myself over DC's commentary the money invested in F1 is just incredible but we have "sausage kerbs".

DR 10th on Ultras. MV on Hypers. An interesting first few laps for the races maybe. A lot depends on their qualifying positions.

Merc on Ultras 8/10s a second faster than the Ferraris, that's not good news. And the Ferraris had to go twice. How depressing is that?

[johnxjsc1985]

The pressure to have just one chance to do everything perfectly must be immense. Think Hamilton can improve on that he was sliding about a bit.

[Derek Smith]

So LH makes two, albetit minor, mistakes, and gets pole by over half a tenth.

[johnxjsc1985]

Here we go this could be interesting.

[The Vambo]

How did Seb not take that pole?

[TeeRev]

Sublime lap from Mr Hamilton, a joy to watch.

[johnxjsc1985]

Stunning lap by both Mercedes drivers. Danny Ric ahead of Max. One more Race Sunday before the long winter.

[Exige77]

Different dramas every race but Hamilton seems to pull one out of the bag more often than not.

Great lap !!
