    I feel quite good, Seb well within the .5 that Merc seem to lose between quali and race, but will Hamilton bother racing him hard?

    I think Vettel is the only one he'd race hard.

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves anyway, lets at least get past the first corner then first straight. See where Vettel is then :/

    I thought I'd given enough time for Q3 to finish when I did it, alas not, others have been let off being tardy (including me last ti e out, and I did the poll), so name your choice.
    I'll make sure it's right next time, don't worry

    And all 3 were out-qualified by their team-mates.

    Stroll has done that thing again where he gets a penalty and starts higher than he qualified

    Ocon will be the greatest champion in history once he gets in a winning car, even sticking him in the wall doesn't stop him.

    Race conditions improving for Ferrari, relative to Mercedes. I think Vettel may pass Hamilton into turn one, and may also have a tyre advantage throughout the race. Mercedes tend to struggle as it gets hotter.

    It may go to a two stopper for many. The interesting prospect we have is that the predicted rain came early, cleaning up the track and leaving most teams with plenty of guesswork!
