absolute nonsense , I've seen Lewis angry and beeing angry over the radio as late as the last 2 years. This year not that much, but he has very little to be upset about so far. |

That was an excellent quali session. Depending on how tomorrow goes, this too may be also one long remembered! |

Max hasn't learned that (yet) as much as Lewis has. As long as it doesn't rain hard enough to red-flag the thing. That's not something I'm looking forward to. |

Stroll was not penalised. Pole position remains.
Allegations of voter fraud have no evidence. |

This Micheal Massi guy, he's still a temporary replacement after they lost Charlie so suddenly right?
One can only hope after some of his decisions today Letting Q2 start with a tractor on track was probably the worst of them, but also the inconsistency in letting Lance keep his pole for slowing down under yellows but setting fastest time, but penalising lando for the same thing earlier on is bizarre but everything you come to expect from the FIA And when a serious crash happens, they can hide behind the excuse "the driver didn't slow down enough for the yellow flags" and ignore the fact it's a culture they have 100% encouraged by not being stricter on YF penalites. You can bring in Halos and VSCs to try and look like you're taking safety seriously, but decisions like todays prove that its seemingly last of your concerns after the TV broadcasts, teams self interests, "the show" or whatever else is distracting them Maybe it's time the FIA need to look for a new, permenant race director that puts safety at the forefront of his mind? |

but its not all bad...am reminded of Webber's first pole (Germany in the wet i believe). it was 2009 cause i know he banged with Barri/Brawn in the first corner, got a penalty, but still found his way back to win the race and become the first Ozzie to win a race in 30odd years. if Stroll does likewise, it will be a similar time gap to the last win by a Canadian. fingers crossed we get a little history repeating! |

It went green before anyone completed thier owut lap, but still.Someone could have lost it on the out lap too. That had happened before in Q1. I also wondered what was the difference between Grosjean beached (red flag), and Latifi beached (just the yellow). Maybe I missed something, but's 2 ot the same, no? I hate the inconsistency. |

Think the difference between the yellow and red was two things
- Grosjean crashed at a point in the session where it could get a red and restart and not really effect anymore. Latifis incident wouldn've ended the session - Grosjeans car was in the direct firing line for T1, where several cars had gone off. If you go off at T1, you go to Grosjeans position. Latifi was off in a place where others hadn't gone off, and it's a lonnnnnng corner, where you have to go off at a specific point to end up where Latifi was. The risk was less with Latifi. Whether or not the risk was low enough is up for debate of course, but it was certainly less. |

I have seen Latifi was beached but couldn't see where. Of course the TV station sitched to adverts as soon as they could after Q2 was over. So I just saw it once, and that was it. |

do we know if anyone opted for more of 'dry' setting? was sort of thinking that was what Merc was playing at did they/Ham have been struggling (or just being ridiculously cautious?) all weekend. |

Finished on the podium? I wish my screw ups were bad enough for podiums.
Bro just put his car on pole, ahead of one of the GOAT, and out-qualifying the one everyone expected to be on pole, and doing it completely legit. I think we need to let him have his moment rather than shouting "Yeah but what about that time he didn't do well!?" |

Whoever decided to change to inters deserves a promotion But sadly, the points only get handed out on Sundays, so there's still a big job to do |

All others started on wets and switched to inters for a second run. So Stroll was in the same boat as all others. I do think though that Racing Point was very smart to split their strategies at the Q3 start. |

Lance made the call to change to inters after 1 lap. This was discussed on Sky after the session. Gentleman from RP was interviewed and gave all the credit to Lance for making the call in the car. I guess Lance deserves a promotion then, doesn't he? Of course points are only handed out Sunday. But the boy everyone said was too crap for F1 just put it on pole on one of the most challenging qualifying sessions we've ever seen. The kid deserves credit. |

All of this just goes to show what a joke F1 is.
Hopefully F1 will sort itself out and we won’t have anything more that provides interest, is a challenge and we don’t have an usual result. Some people, who childishly enjoy things, might ask for more random circuit changes with limited prep time. Idiots. |
