    I'd prefer Kvyat to do it, he needs a good result.

    I think for JB who has never driven one of these new formulas on what must be the most challenging track to match SV is a very reasonable start.

    Vettel looks ominous, Merc allegedly gone the wrong way on setup - is it worth 8/10ths?

    Button should've taken the chance to test at Barca, different track with different characteristics for sure, but it would still have been 10x better than none at all. We'll see what Saturday brings, a Q3 place isn't beyond the realms of possibility for McHRT here.

    lol, yep. Michael is the very definition of a Hamelot, I wanted to go on there and talk about Button, but urgh. I wish the BBC comment section had an ignore function to stop me, like HIAG on the football section but he's like a scab I can't help but pick, even though I know it does no good to argue with a fool.

    good news for Palmer fans, he's yet to do his good lap, I think he could be saving it for qualifying this week.

    the further up the grid he gets, the more he'll take with him at the first corner.

    That is so naughty <laugh>

    Part of me still think he needs more time . My Patience with Stroll is rapidly running out though !!!

    My Birthday pressie this year is to see the Canadian GP from Williams Headquarters on june 11th . See the museum , have dinner in the Ayrton Senna suite ( treat myself to something from the shop ) .

    My worry is they will both be out on the first lap , then what happens :(

    Only thing that can stop him now is himself. Easily looks the quickest, just got to watch the walls.

    I wonder if the long Merc is causing Bottas and Hamilton to be slow?

    Not looking good for Lewis. Vettel is just being consistent this year which Hamilton has never been in his career

    Vandoorne was pretty mighty in S1 and S3 there- lost almost all of the 4 tenths in S2.
