I know 25 mins in is a little early to determine anything, but do Mercedes have genuine leading pace here?

As the track beds in with rubber, it should get quicker, but will the rain (predicted tomorrow) wash it away.

Dani ric is doing decent times on the soft (hardest of the 3 this week) just now.

New MGU-H for Kimi, and Max.

Kimi should now have an identical power unit to Seb's.

No penaltys.

Thanks. Was watching the BBC website updates & missed that Red Bull are just 0.4 away but on the harder tyre.

Quicker now.

Times and Tyres used (Ferrari have used 5/6 out of the 9 sets of hypersofts), perhaps they might save some for tonight ( for as per qualifying conditions).

Not to far off last yrs pole...

I'm not sure these new FOM graphics are giving us the correct info. Ferrari have only used two sets of the hypers per car.

They started off with a run doing quali sims, went back and did more sims on a new set after making changes to the car. Came back and did a long run on the same set.

Let see what Merc can do in FP2 on the hypers.

No worries, think I might ask for my money back on f1 access!!!

I had to step out, away from TV/Computer, any news on Vettel's Car, Gearbox/Hydraulic problems?

I do think Vettel's pushed the management into doing this with his mistakes. I think the Ferrari top brass have had enough.

One thing I'm not certain of however is just how good CLc is? We've had plenty of supposed prodigies come through before and not be able to make it. Who's he beat? No one of note, yet...

He was in a class of one in GP2, slaughtered everyone.

So Was Maldonado.

WDC standings

Notable mentions to

Gasly, who has had 10+ 5 place penalties with the Honda PU, a very good points haul to date.

Magnussen and Hulk fighting it out for best of the rest.

And Fernando, hampered by DNF’s some good places when finishing.

For those watching on C4, what has happened to the normal presenting team ?

DC and Webber only tend to do the Quili and Race.

For those watching on C4, is Lee hot AF or what?

She's certainly OK on the eye, however I wouldn't say she is "hot AF", unless you are referring to the hot weather in Singapore.

Well OK let's call her sexy, you could see those MILF hormones emanating from her during her interview with Max Headroom. It's a yes from me.

Yes V nice, (as well as Pinkham), however both good presenters and know there f1 stuff, the Sky Italia F1 presenters (F) however....

Red Bull complaining about the Renault engine again.

I get the feeling Renault will be glad to see the back of them.

To be fair, if your paying millions for a product and it’s not working properly, I’d be shocked if they didn’t complain!

Think Ferrari will fly qualifying....race could be a different story with Mercedes race pace and tyre deg looking better. Can they out do ferrari on strategy rather than pure pace?

Hmmm, not so sure have a feeling Merc may have been running high levels of fuel in P3, think it will be close

I’m more of a jake Humphrey’s kind of guy. But each to their own I suppose. He’s definately FILF

Martin Brundle has a certain something. He can rev me up any day, and I'd happily work his stick shift.
