Known stuff about the EM on that part of the track.
Yes mister, it's been known since it's happened to Webber in the inaugural gp here. But since then, I don't recall any issues in between.

Yep, very much!

Notice that Vettel's best sectors would have given a fastest lap if strung together; however, interesting that Ricciardo only person to get close to him in S1 - likely before he crashed - so more potential for him perhaps.

But if we look at somewhere like Hungary, the quali modes were enough to pull Mercedes and Ferrari clear of the Bulls, so whilst I'd say they seemed favourites for pole in FP3, I think the others will improve more from sheer horsepower.

But yeah, expect it to be very very close (no 'domination'... ); if I had to bet, I'd probably put the money on Max, but think both Lewis and Seb still have a shot.

Unfortunately, this is the one race where rain is not better for the show. I think we will lose 6 cars just from rain if the forecast is correct...😢😢

Ferrari put some new engine parts. Not a complete set.

For those who wanted a wet race, 85% wet race tomorrow.
Based by FIA publications. Kimi has new MGU-H (4) and Seb new CE (4)

So no new engine yet

It's the turbo that'll get them. Also what the hell is this, Vandoorne less than a second off the pace in Q2?! :shock: :o

Why are F1 using Porsche supercup engine sounds when they show replays? 😅

vettel shows who's boss on this track. Mercedes gets destroyed as soon as an engine is not worth 0.5s advantage over the rest. good.

Max will make a safe start cause he won't want to f*ck up another race where he could get easy on the podium.

Great from the Red's!

Welp. So much for close. Turns out Ferrari especially Vettel were sandbagging it. With Raikkonen and the Bulls beating the Mercs as well, this is literally the best scenario for Vettel. Still a blinder by him, he even clouted the wall on the way, so did Kimi. Interesting times.

Let's see what happens tomorrow.
