Official 2020 Portugal Grand Prix Thread **SPOILERS**

[Sandpit Steve]

Ricciardo with a spin annoys everyone except Leclerc, who gets through on the mediums.

15th for Seb though, that gamble didn’t pay off.

Ferrari joining Mercedes on the mediums. Optimistic?

Admission of it being a pointless exercise?

It’s the only chance they’ve got of making a one-stop happen tomorrow - but they need to make the top ten with the yellow stripes, and that’s looking rather marginal.

Leclerc managed it.
Vettel beaten by a Williams.

Stroll; “Was the track slower that time?”

Yes, Lance - all the bits you were on!

Croft just started a sentence saying DR was out of qualifying and ended the same sentence saying he will make Q3...

What a pillock.

In fairness, it did indeed look like he was out of qualifying from the initial shot. I was equally surprised when he drove away.

It’s one of the least stupid things he’s said today...

15th for SV. He's given up.

Gasly's done well. I have to cough to underestimating him after his time in the RB. I hope there's no penalty with the incident with Perez.

Just spotted that Racing Point have a pink paint marker for their torque stripes/tell tales, I love that!(Nearly always white or yellow).

Williams out qualify a ferrari.

If i were racing point I would be very worried about Vettel coming to my team...

[Murghee]

[Murghee]

I thought the same but "Is that Daniel Riccardo out of qualifying!?" would be a safer first shout

Is vettel actually trying?
Reminds me of someone who has given notice at work and floats along until the notice period ends

In other words he doesnt give a ducks bill

[Derek Smith]

Quick maths from me: can they put in those two flyers with a rest in betwen twice this session?

[TheDeuce]

Bottas and Lewis within hundredths again... Both so fierce in quali.

EDITED TO ADD:

Apparently not as both Mercs pitted.

[Sandpit Steve]

I think it’s getting windier, lap times are slower than they were 15 mins ago.

[Sandpit Steve]

Lewis taking the mediums! They just can’t get those C3 soft tyres working.

[Murghee]

Oooh bottas going faster

[Murghee]

Bottas has time for another run

[marksx]

VB flying

[Derek Smith]

Bottas does well. LH still out.
