Third in qualifying ahead of Russell whose team mate went faster to get pole, and third behind his Ferrari team mate.

So in short, Hamilton is 3rd on the grid for tomorrow!

Always good we check by describing it 5 different ways wink

Interesting that he's made some changes to his set up from the sprint. I wonder if it'll help with the longer runs in the race. We shall see, he was in a different league to everyone else again in the sprint. Any other than Kimi behind him in that car and I'd imagine he would have held that lead to the end.

Kimi's overtake on Lewis just highlighted how artificial the current cars are though. Kimi was chasing, chasing, chasing, got the artificial power boost that is now engineered in, and then just neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooowwwwwwwwww breezed past Lewis on the straight like he was parked. Then Lewis couldn't get back into that 1 second activation zone and that was that.

It felt like a very hollow overtake, although fair play to Kimi for sticking so close to Lewis and for closing (and keeping) that close distance to activate Zoom-Zoom-Easy-Overtake mode. silly

Since 2007, if on the same Sunday England had a World Cup match and LH was racing in a GP, has there ever been an occasion when both won?
IIRC, the answer is no?
(Should’ve had a flutter on England v. Mexico.)
Ergo, if England get knocked out, LH’s chances of winning this year’s WDC improve.
The tea leaves have spoken…

Imagine going toe to toe with Hamilton in a title fight and knowing that the only way he'll lose is if England don't get knocked out! Them ain't good odds!!!

Please don't. Given Trumps ability to turn *literally anything* to st, Lewis would probably lose all 7 of his existing titles instead.

Heard an interesting stat during FP2 highlights yesterday, over last 5 races Lewis has scored more than any other driver, think it was 96 but that seems a lot, have not checked

I heard that as well. I decided to check but ran out of enthusiasm. What is patently obvious is he's on a scoring run.

Well I kind of feel sorry for Charles in a way, imagine last season beating Lewis a lot and assuming he was past it, only to have him love these new cars and mainly be kicking your ar((e now... A 40 year old...
