Looks like the sun's out and it's going to be round 2. It's not over yet...

Looks like it.

And come on now Jolyon....keep it private

Bugger that, people complain you don't see drivers showing actual emotions and being honest yet complain when one does. If the cars crap say it's crap.

But there are ways of saying it's crap. He was asked to explain the answer by the interviewer but he just said it's all crap and sulked off. I'd guess it largely his fault because of his crash. I'm not normally a Jolyon basher but he came across as a prick in that interview.

If last year repeats it was very rare for drivers second runs to beat their first...lets see what happens this year.

that looked a fairly heavy hit, glad he's ok.

Didn't do much wrong, this is good - cars a bit more difficult to drive, we get to see drivers having to work at it.

I wonder if Vettel has a little bit more to get to Lewis on a second run ?

Looks like the cars rely on the aero and when something messes it up it just goes...and there's no catching it.

I wonder how much a crosswind effects the cars now withe those massive shark fins

That raised a giggle from me too

Here we go last 3 min

[LaurasOtherHalf]

LH44 going purple like nothing else in sector 1

[Vocal Minority]

Hamilton storming it

[Bradgate]

2016 Australian Grand Prix pole time 1:23.8

2017 pole 1:22.1

So what happened to '5 seconds a lap faster'?

Anyway, It's good to see the big boys showing the kids how it's done. Hopefully, the days of schoolboys jumping into F1 cars and immediately being competitive are over.

[Vocal Minority]

Ask for Vettel - I don't want to lose to tommunster

[LaurasOtherHalf]

FRONT ROW FERRARI!!

bring it bloody well on

[MockingJay]

Get in Seb!

[Vocal Minority]

Phew.....

[K50 DEL]

Hamilton not running away with it, fingers crossed that holds true for the rest of the season.

[DanielSan]

Brilliant map from Seb! And if Ferrari carry on like they've done for the last few years their race pace should be an improvement on single lap pace aswell for tomorrow. We've got the potential for a good race and potential for a return on my bet more importantly
