Awesome first 2 sectors from Hami. Don't know where he dropped it in the third

Don't think he dropped it in the third, so much as DR was insanely quick - .3 quicker than anyone else in a sub 20 second sector. LH was only .05 slower than NR through it.

I fancy Riciardo for pole for this one, he was mighty impressive in qualifying last time out.

Wish I'd stuck some money on him for pole - 10/1 this mornings

Kvyat half a second slower than Saintz

Lauda's just said Lewis' car had a fuel pressure problem.

both cars too, nico's wouldn't start

[NJK44]

Either nicos engineers from last year and absolutely crap, or Lewis is being sabotaged.

This is BS.

I don't believe for a second that it was both cars.

[VolvoT5]

I can't believe I actually fell for the McLaren 'great chassis' bullst. They are no closer on this track than anywhere else. How much longer can they hide behind Honda as the sole reason for their issues.

Can we leave it out this thread please.

I hate to say it but I reckon Riccardo's harder tyres could cost him the lead into Saint Devote at the start of the race. I hope not.

It is such a short run into the first corner I think he can defend the lead pretty well. After the last race I think the main danger will be someone ramming him from behind......

[LDN]

Remind me why red bull have Aston Martin badges showing...

"My fking time"
Good on yer mate. Verstappens arrival may have geed him up to good effect.

[hairyben]

Well done DR

Yeah my thoughts too I can't see the advantage of being on supers, but far be it for me to 2nd guess DR & his team strategists

[cgt2]

If it's wet as is very likely tyre strategy will be irrelevant.

you didn't notice them putting the tyre warmers back on and the delay in him coming out?

It's such a short run though... any other track I would agree.
