All 6 Ferrari engined cars in Q2, 5 Renaults (1 probably not running) only 3 running Mercedes and no Hondas.

Lewis - not listening to team orders? and looking like a broken man by the side of the car!?.. It's only quali. Can't quite understand whats going on there.
The discussion on R5L Sports Extra, is that Hamilton realises that his mistake on one of the corners (1st) has probably caused the hydraulics problem at the next corner, when he was stuck in gear...

His team ordered him to stop, because of a potential PU failure.

Lewis is making mistakes because he's pushing extra hard to to try and beat ferrari who seem consistently quicker now.
Maybe but you’d think he’d know better than that.

Not according to Toto Wolf.

He still states the Mercedes is the faster car.

Great pace. Vettel 4 and a bit tenths up in the 2nd run at the second split was insane after the first lap.

Great lap from Bottas too.

That lap is why Bottas has a new contract. Hopefully silenced the doubters with that even if it's not pole.

The speed Bottas when through the final section was unbelievable. The modern cars with the grip levels are nuts.

Well at least the best cars are as others look a right handful.

Missed opportunity for Lewis especially with Vettel on pole.

But I doubt Lewis will be out on the top 6 within 10-15 laps.

I think he's just ambitious and disappointed.

Should be a good race tomorrow with two front-runners starting at the back.
Is Lewis not starting 14th?

Lewis just being interviewed (by the sky italia journalist).

Quite positive actually just wanted to keep pushing!

Can’t see them taking any chances tomorrow, full new gearbox, and engine (and associated parts), and take the penalty/s.

Depends how badly he knackered his gearbox flying over that kerb.
Very good point.

I am sure Mercedes will not want to take a chance if there is anything slightly wrong.

What travel is dangerous said. That's how Nico won the WDC a couple of years ago.
