The Official 2017 Russian Grand Prix Thread **Spoilers**

Lauda is so easy to read! Doesn't have a great poker face!

Hamilton's looking like a mess, can't tell if it's car or driver.

Stroll and Palmer indeed junk. Enjoying the Hulk, Ocon, Perez, Massa midfield; all solid drivers, good squabble, shame Grosjean isn't in that pack.

The Vettel mind games are working.

This is where Lewis needs to improve. He lets things get to him.

Really hope Kimi gets pole.

Ferrari 1-2. WOW.

Shame for Kimi. Would have been nice to see.

Will be a good race.

Nice and close.

[Dr Z]

Phew that was close! A Ferrari front row!

[confucuis]

The first Ferrari 1-2 in how long!? Get in there!

[Quickmoose]

BOOM!
game on!!

and Bottas ahead of team mate too...

sooooperb!

[Mastodon2]

Tremendous work from Ferrari and their drivers. Great to see Vettel on pole.

Nice one Seb, and good luck for the race...

the only thing "getting" to Lewis is the lack of grip in the last corners. For whatever reason he hasn't sorted the setup.

Merc will need to do something inventive with strategy tomorrow.

If Lewis wants a podium he'll have to pass Bottas on track

Toto and Lauda will be nursing him soon

I hope tomorrow off the grid we get to see something special.
Mercedes forced to race in dirty air
Bottas a chance to rise
Hamilton to enjoy a REAL challenge.
Raikonnen to re-discover his mojo
Vettel to keep the championship right on the boil.

Don't care who wins, just want to see wheel to wheel goodness...

How on earth can you tell? He's in the car or on the weigh scales with a helmet on?!

Exactly. Normally a pretty clear indicator.

Hamilton distracted and out of sorts today.

Bloody hell- the fastest Red Bull in 5th 1.7 seconds off pole and 1.1 seconds behind Hamilton in 4th.

Thank goodness Ferrari have caught up.

Shocking the difference between the top two teams and the rest of the field.

I am sure at tighter circuits the Red Bulls will be challenging.
