Yeah looks like the Merc's will be chasing the Ferrari's, but we have seen this before the Merc's looks slower in FP but in qualifying find some extra speed.
F1 2017 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Lewis had a mare of a first lap.
Bottas and Lewis now 1 and 2 Q1.
How long with Alonso put up with this shite.
Expected. they're on the fastest set of tires.
they are on Ultra Softs , Vettle and Kimm both on softs.
Palmer in the wall at the end of Q1
Alonso only just made Q2
did not see any of FP , whats the difference in time between Ultra and softs?
Bottas is nearly half a second faster than Lewis in Ultra softs.
Merca and Ferrari are miles ahead of the rest, over a second between Kimmi in P4 and P5
Write off of a weekend for Hamilton. Could be a good scrap between Kimi and Bottas for 2nd tomorrow but can't look past Vettel for the win.
I am not sure yet Lewis could be holding some back.
Bottas looks like he is giving it all.

Both Merc's out and ready before the start of Q3
WTF is Hulkenburg doing
Lewis was ahead for 3/4 of the lap and then he just last it.
Exciting finish to this qualy ahead.
Great result for Ferrari but we've seen already this season that it counts for little come race day!
That was a shocker , Lewis has the fastest again for 3/4 of the lap and again lost it in the last 1/4
Half a second down.
Vettel.
Kimi
Bottas
Lewis
Should be a cracking race

The thing is the Mercs are still going to struggle in that last sector during the race.
Yes! Finally we got the pole! Gonna be a great race tomorrow.
Cant see past a Vettel win , him and Kimi seemed to handle the last sector better.
What is it with that last sector that the Merc's dont like?

This has got to be better than the match !
Alonso stopped and out of his car before the race even starts.
Another formation lap needed.
Another formation lap needed.
Oh McLaren, race hasn't even started.
Alonso choosing the most inconvenient place to park it...
wow what a start from Bottas
FFS SC already
Palmer and Roman out , the race is now down to 17 cars.
Riccardo's right rear brakes on fire !!
sounds like Lewis has some sort of intermittent problem.
His main problem's that he's still dog slow in sector 3. He's looked like he's on ice in the last few corners all weekend.
this is just not his race, dont see him getting a podium.
Bottas could be on for his first win.

This track is shocking, get rid.
This is the worst race I've seen in years
first couple of laps had some excitement but nothing since.
Pretty big gaps between the cars already, doesn't bode well.
Shit race.
Hamilton moaning is always good to hear.
Kimi
