Well Lauda did say 2 tenths. And it is.

 

Game on i reckon, Vettel set his time earlier and had a scruffy last sector which probably cost him a tenth or so. They aren't "quite" at the Mercs,but definitely well in striking distance!.

 

Missed FP3 but should be on to see the new slapstick qualifying.

 

Morning all.

 

Let the silliness begin.

 

So far so normal.

 

Gaaaah. Gutted for Haas.

 

Not last tho... not last!

 

Hahaha theyve all ****ed up, what a silly mistake. It says eliminated after 80 seconds!

 

That matte paint on the RBR is growing on me.

 

Why doesn't Jenny Gowe get any credit? I think she's excellent.

 

The paint looks good, it's the design which is a mess. I still can't get over how good the Renault looks.

 

How was Q1? Only just got in.

I thought this format wasn't coming in until Spain. I wonder if they'll change their minds again before Q3.

 

Love the Renault. I think the Ferrari should be the same. (But red obviously).

 

Did anybody see that Button lap? Ron Dennis is smiling.

 

First car in to a wall... place your bets...

 

I don't understand how the teams can get it wrong with this knockout system, it's not that complicated

 

More complicated on the pit wall when juggling a whole team I'd imagine though.

 

Well... I predicted a 1:24.9 for quali. Guess it's going to be a bit lower than that.

 

Mercedes just released they've been keeping their spare cement in the cockpit.
