Where does Vettel find this pace wtf
I was expecting a high 29 in the first sector from the Merc... Bottas clearly underperforming though.

Ferrari better than i expected.
Bottas struggling big time this weekend.

Shame about Palmer, for once he was looking like a proper driver.

Vettel was given a tow by Kiki. Vettel admitted it during the interview.

I'm pretty confused. How is possible Ham is only 2 tenths in front of Vettel with a new engine in a track like this? There is something wrong here.....

That's a result I didn't expect, Bottas underperformed a bit, so did Raikkonen when it really was important. Verstappen excellent driving!

Tow surely helped the german.

Ferrari had their number two driver do whatever was needed to get their number one driver up in the front row. Vettel has been slower than Kimi all weekend, they had to do something.
Come on! stop with the silver glasses! :wink: :wink:
Mercedes told the new engine is ultra powerful but the result is very close (tow included) if we compare it with the last "mercedes track" qualy..... Lauda and Wolf were not so euphoric at the end....

For the sake of interest please Seb dont botch it on start. If Hamilton by the end of lap 1 has bottas behind him than its race over.
