Interesting that last years Mercedes seems a lot more comfortable than this years' Mercedes.
Impressive lap from Perez.
They'll all go to inters now
Hmm, will RB lose the advantage on inters?
Max should've finished that lap...
Stroll on pole.
Lance Stroll pole position. Jeez, never thought I'd see that!
Holy shit that’s amazing, well done Stroll!
Holy shit
Lance Stroll, rainmaster.
Wow. Brilliant Lance Stroll.
Race is going to be a complete lottery if it’s like this again, carnage.
If the race is in these conditions, tomorrow is going to be a lot of fun.
Wow. Daddy’s special little boy on pole
Fair play Lance Stroll
However if it isn't then Verstappen is definitely winning. Didn't they say the pretty much all the winners have come from the front of the grid recently (which is actually now just the usual so not a great stat)
Ugh anyone but Stroll on pole. 
Absolutely sickening for Max there. Have no doubts he would have held and extended his lead in pole if they had just let him stay out there. Red Bull massively over-reacted to that Perez lap in hindsight.

Red Bull massively over-reacted to that Perez lap in hindsight.I haven't seen the sector splits. Max did a 1:50 in Q2 on full wets, his first lap in Q3 was about 2 secs off. In FP3 Max did a 1:48:4 on inters, Stroll got pole on a 1:47:4. Max would have pipped Perez to pole at the time I think but ultimately inters were the right tire.Ugh anyone but Stroll on pole.

Oh boy
Shocked pole for Stroll, did not see that coming.
Still can't see past Max, Lewis and Bottas top 3.
All depends on the weather, both Mercedes struggled FP and qualifying, Max looks good for the win.
Forecast I think is for a dry race, but cold, getting tyres to work will be the problem.

Stroll will feck up again somehow - hopefully without taking others with him when he does.
Edit: p.s. Just read no further actions against Stroll for the yellow flag incident so he stays on pole.

Everything upside down. Even vettel is ahead of Leclerc!
Mclaren completely screwed it up taking a risk going onto inter's way too early.
When everybody is going on wets you know there's usually a reason. They then wasted 2/3 laps and didn't have enough time to get the wet tyres up to temperature.
Now they've both got a 5 grid place drop... say goodbye to 3rd in the constructors unless something crazy happens.
I wonder whether racing point went with a really wet setup expecting tomorrow to be wet as well? they seemed strangely very quick compared to the rest.
I expect Max will win as his race pace is far superior, will be interesting to see how close Hamilton can get.

Turkish GP
and its raining, track looks very wet.
SC start ?
SC start ?
wet and cold, on new tarmac any rubber that was down, will have been washed away, should make for an interesting race.
pit lane open, all cars on full wets, rain has stopped, but more is expected.
Giovinazzi already into the barrier on the lap to the grid.
That was some GP2 race in Turkey from Lewis, spins drops to 19th , 17 laps and he gets 2ND
Really looking forward to this. Hope they don’t start under a SC but I think they might
If they dont, I suspect the SC will be out very soon after the start.
Looking forward to this race. There is going to stuff going on everywhere.
Underdog on Pole, Wet track, Lewis having to fight from further back.
My money is on Verstappen today.

Max has been the fastest all weekend, cant see past him, him and Lewis are excellent wet drivers, the new tarmac has played a massive part so far and it still will.
Will Stroll back out of turn 1 , I doubt it, could take himself and a few other out.

nice F16 display by the Turkish Air Force
Absolutely. Busy day ahead for Bernd
This should be a very interesting start, normal start, no SC.
