It was always unquestionably going to be, Latifi, LeClercke, Albon...

Still not raining, with 10 minutes to go. Does look rather cloudy though.

LOL, Vettel helping out the mechanics repairing his car. Apparently they did have a spare new floor and new rear wing in stock, so he’s lucky if they can get the car out in time.

Ferrari front row i recon.

Ha, so they did have three minutes at the end - and Latifi goes top of the timing screen on a drying track!

Lerclerc’s Ferrari in a Williams sandwich!

It's a Ferrari sandwich. The Williams are the bread! How do people get this wrong all the time?

Boo! Was hoping for a tricky mixed up wet qualifying grid!

[anonymous-user]

Oh great, more orange smoke.

[anonymous-user]

Now thats a proper dark cloud!

[DanielSan]

Whose going to run a bit too wide and get caught out by the bits beyond the kerb still being a bit moist?

Don't the Hungarians have a bit of a problem with racism in football? Wasn't there an England v Hungary match where black England players were abused by the crowd?

Yes indeed, it's well known for its racism, they are proud of their 'ultras' and the players applaud them.

What kind of plum thinks “I’m enjoying this so much, I think I’ll light up a smoke bomb!!”

Exactly the sort of ‘fan’ that the DriveItOut campaign is targeting.

Norris showing his pace, could he be the surprise today?

[Derek Smith]

A surprise there. Perhaps the 38% knew something?

The Merc was good in the dry, but terrible in the wet. Still think it’s the third best car, but the gap is closing.

My view was that Lewis at least could probably keep up with the Ferrari's here now Merc have made progress with their car. And also I'd heard RB were running a stiffer floor? - not sure on that last point because I've been distracted from watching so far - but that's what I thought when I voted for Lewis.

The Mercedes looks decent but winning Q1 isn't winning on Sunday. Plus the Ferrari and Red Bull fastest times were set on used tyres, the Mercedes on new.

Perez unlucky there, his wheels were still on the white line.

Time reinstated.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a time reinstated before. Do they not look at the video before dropping times in the first place?

Spots of rain…

I'm glad they reinstated it, it would have caused pointless controversy otherwise.
