Why would any team give their underperforming driver the upgrades when he can’t get the most out of his existing machinery?
Who's the better driver now?

That seems quite the lap from Hamilton there. Maybe he caught some favourable conditions.

To be fair to Stroll, this is Vettel’s first Q3 appearance in 15 races.

I’m holding my thought on RB hiding a problem until Q3. Just hard to know who is doing what until the gloves come off.

Same as last year. Weird track. Verstappen's deleted lap was enough for pole position, but then again hamilton's Q2 lap was 3 tenths up on that.
