Bad result for daddy's special boy, knocked out in Q2 in the Tracing Point
Vettel just dont care anymore
Lewis Hamilton is going to finish qualifying on the medium tyres.
Max and Bottas stay on the softs.
that's clear to see, sad to see him so bad.
Boggles the mind really, imagine a prem player saying the same...
Of course he pulls a lap out of his arse right at the end 
WOW what a final lap from Lewis, pulls out one of his famous qualifying laps.
0.102s faster that Bottas on his very last lap.
Lewis is master at finding a fast lap to get pole.

Both Bottas and Hamilton setting their times on the mediums. Are they that much faster or is that tyre better than the soft for some reason?

Max said he could not get his softs to work, Lewis and Bottas got the mediums to work better.
Max was blaming the new tarmac.
Like father, like son.
Mediums work best on this track if it's at the proper temperature supposedly
Practice 1 fastest Bottas
Practice 2 fastest Bottas
Practice 3 fastest Bottas
Qualifying 1 fastest Bottas
Qualifying 2 fastest Bottas
Qualifying 3 (( where it matters )) fastest Hammy.
Does Lewis purposely take the piss out of Bottas.??
How many times do we see this.

I have said it before, why show your true speed in FP , Q1 or Q2, the only place your true speed should be seen is in the last few laps of Q3, that's what Lewis does all the time.Practice 1 fastest Bottas

I agree Paul hence Hammy taking the piss
I think Hammy was taught his mind games from the one and only SAF
Its so hard to judge Ferrari's pace. Is LeClerc having a blinder of a season or has Vettel just completely lost it.
I think it's a mixture of both Leclerc being an amazing driver and seb also just not giving 100%. Lokk at his his last season at Red Bull and he was off the pace then too, if not to the extent of now.
It's not even mind games it's just common sense.I agree Paul hence Hammy taking the piss
I think Hammy was taught his mind games from the one and only SAF
Hamilton is just a better driver than Bottas.
Actually!! It is mind games, yes we all know Hammy the better driver. However, hammy does like to play cat & mouse with Bottas by letting him think he's the quickest in testing.
Lewis going for history today, his 92nd win would take him to the top of the pile.
If Bottas has the opportunity (tho let's be honest...he won't keep up) then just for drama s sake it would be cool if he ignores team instructions and prevents that from happening today. He s clearly high on himself now that he has his personalized face masks with his initials
There is a threat of rain, rain on new tarmac will make it like a skating ring.
Semi-rain racing on dry tires is awesome!
Exciting start to the race so far.
Its raining !!
Nice unpredictable start, should make to some great racing today.
what a start Bottas and Lewis both losing ground , Sainz out in front.
K

This is amazing start of a race
only a matter of time before the tyres are in the zone for Lewis, Bottas and Max.
I think it’s right now
Frustration for Max is his should have come online much earlier and if he'd stayed ahead of Bottas he'd be a few seconds clear of the Mercedes right now.
They have had problems getting them to work all weekend.
so as you were, Mercs in front and Max trying to catch them up.
Still a chance of rain to spice it up a bit.

After the beginning of the race the circuit now looks like shit. Just get into DRS and overtake at the first corner.
That’s what F1 has become unfortunately. Hopefully we’ll get some rain to spice things up, that first lap was the best of the season so far.
Vettel and Leclerc looks completely the opposite. I dont doubt Vettel just dont care anymore but Leclerc drag that car to the front really looks superb. I guess all the updates goes for Leclerc.
Max is losing time every lap, need new boots but come in now makes it a 2 stopper.
SC would suit the top 3 about now.
