Haas doing better than alpine?

Oooh, This seems exciting!
Still think RB to be faster in the race. But 2 Ferraris vs 1 RB might help!

Lawrence really needs to tell his son he isn't that good, bad parenting.
I think I'm going to regret considering Charles for pole but not selecting him in the end...
Ham on used tyres.
Max on new soft I think, but still a second down is not good
I think Charles will get pole if he puts new tyres on
Should have put Charles on pole.
Yep. Considered him but thought Max just wasn't showing his full pace in practice, as he sometimes does
Alonso is pretty awesome.
Alonso new softs empty track , tenth behind Nax
Hamilton 8th FFS that’s poor
formula 1 is dead
Make that P9
Max on pole , well should could have predicted that and by 0.228
Congrats everyone on their pole position point 
Lewis better get used to being outqualified by George. Think it's going to happen a lot this season. Good practice for being in Ferrari with Leclerc of course.

Shocking qualifying
His head is already in Ferrari.
Hamilton has just lost that couple of tenths over 1 lap and in this kind of grid that's 9th instead of 3rd. Gives him way too much to do in the races where he is strong, needs to start setting the car up for one lap and just dealing with it.

Normal service resumes.
Close between 2nd-9th.
Phew picked right for pole
The top are quite close just have to hope it translates to the race
McLaren have dropped off a bit. Even if we could have a great battle between Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston Martin and McLaren (and Perez) would help with interests as we can then just ignore Max disappearing off into the distance

This will be a good fight from 2nd position onwards.
Just hope Ferrari remain strong in sector 2 and 3. Catch Max in DRS
That RB looks so comfortable again. Even more comfortable in quali trim now than last year at this point. Feels like Max was holding back in the last two sectors.
Not sure how much the tow from the McLaren helped him.
This is an outlier of a track, rear limited so I'm taking it all with a pinch of salt. Need another race or two, to get a true reflection. I think the Red bull under max can open up a bigger gap to the ferrari's.
Ferrari are a lot more closer to RB this year though, last year they were 1.3 seconds off in Quali whereas this year it's 2 tenths - Hopefully that translates to a closer season v the rout we had last year, especially if that SF24 is reliable.
Norris was quick but missed out with a poor S1, that middle sector speed indicates its probably a decent car though. He does need to start finishing these laps off though, so many times he threatens to do something special and then makes a mistake.
This will be tight behind Max.
it's crazy how amazing and yet average the red bull car is depending on if it's max or Perez driving it.
Yep, normal service resumes. RB Max sandbagging in quali, then 10 seconds ahead of the second one tomorrow.
Everyone admitting they can't get close to Max in the race, great stuff
