Here we go for the first qualifying of the 2018 season, time to see what the new cars can really do .
F1 2018 Season

- Start date
Kimmy is looking very fast in Q1 , Lewis is not beating him has yet.
The Merc looks scruffy in the second sector and losing time.

Lewis found his speed in Q1 , 3/10th faster than Kimmy now.
Those dome shaped guards ruin the driver POV cam 
Liking the new graphics on Sky
risk of a shower or 2 in Q2 , could cause a bit of spice.
Just in case you did not know , the set of tyres drivers set their fastest time on in Q2 is the set they start the race on, if they get into the top 10.
Mclaren so far behind redbull with the same engine 
Not a bad start for Mclaren but they can't blame the engine any more, 4 Renault powered cars into Q3.
Vettel had a blistering Q2.
Ferrari have been holding back so far, about to the see their true pace.
Q3 Lewis looking to break another Senna record with 6 poles.
Gearbox is probably done as well on Botas car.
That would make sense, his speed in Q2 was much better than Q1.
Bottas in to the wall , RED FLAG , that was a big crash.
WOW that car has a lot of expensive damage to it, the Mercedes mechanics have a lot of work to do to get that car ready for the race.
Probably a pitlane start with that amount of damage. Don't know why he didn't back off after messing up the first corner, the Merc does look a bit of a handful at times though to be fair.
Q3 when restarted looks likes straight fight for pole between Lewis and Seb.
I would of thought he will still start P10, he hit the grass, he was a passenger after that, massive hit , hopefully he is OK.
WOW cracking opening laps of Q3 , Lewis just got the better of Seb.
Top 3 separated by 6/100th of a second.
Lewis
Seb

This is it, last 2 mins of Q3.
Hamilton with a stunner. Beauty of a lap.
WOW Lewis is flying
Wow, smashed them all. Let’s hope it’s party mode.
OMG what a stunning lap.
Lewis with the pole record in Australia his 7th
That was a perfect lap, nobody was beating that, he found 8/10ths of a second.

Seb turned his engine up in Q2 , did Lewis do the same in Q3 ?
Think a lot of that was Hamilton, he was really on it.
I agree, there was maybe one corner, 4 I think he was a tad wide , but the rest of the lap was perfect.
HA HA Seb not happy with Lewis in the press conference.
Oh well! Big pole for Lewis. At least Ferrari is 2nd and 3rd.
Just hope it's not gonna be another boring season
You mean with Seb looking at the tail pipe of Lewis in front of him, HopefullyJust hope it's not gonna be another boring season

Interesting press conference...
LH: “I can assure you we don’t have a party mode. I use the same mode from Q2 to the end of Q3. There was no extra button or mode I engaged in.”
SV: “What were you doing before then?”
LH: “I was waiting to put a good lap in and wipe the smile off your face.”

Just a few days ago he posted this on instagram
Hamilton has always struck me as a cocky and insecure individual, not a fan.
Cocky , he has every right to be cocky, thats because he is World Champion and the best driver in F1 (in my opinion, others will have different ) has for insecure
He does seem insecure, which is strange because he really doesn't have anything to be insecure about.Cocky , he has every right to be cocky, thats because he is World Champion and the best driver in F1 (in my opinion, others will have different ) has for insecure
He made that Instagram comment because people were posting in the comments about how he has it easy with a dominant Mercedes etc...
I also remember how Vettel's domination back in 2011 and 2013 really got under his skin.
In your opinion ,I dont see it.
Of curse it would get under his skin , he wants to win , what dd you expect him to do sit back and say , yeah its OK !!
From your point of view yes, from mine notYou mean with Seb looking at the tail pipe of Lewis in front of him, Hopefully
