    Qualifying is going to be very interesting! (More so than normal, I believe – although of course, it is always more important at this circuit than any other).

    P.S. It's great to see the return of WestCoastBoogaloo.

    I was thinking that no one had crashed, then in the last 10mins Max stacks it same as last year!

    Crashtappen is an idiot. He had an opportunity this weekend and he has blown it once more.

    F1 needs Ricciardo in the Ferrari next year. He's the man to dethrone Hamilton.

    Great qualifying, and great to see three manufacturers right in the mix. Might even be an interesting race tomorrow!

    Stick Ricciardo in the Merc, and Leclerc in the Ferrari.

    Some people think that Grojean is bad, always crashing, but Max,...in a much better car.....doing a crash or two per weekend. Lot of speed, but not much control ..or at least not consistently. Yeah...he is still young, but he is a professional... A bit of a disappointment really.

    Can't decide if Max has completely lost it, or it's just a really bad patch, but he is utterly shocking right now. It's a shame.

    Isn't this an incident in every race weekend this year? Some only minor but all adding up.

    If ever there were proof he hasn't learned anything, that is it. Max has bought into his own hype,
    Fortunate that I put the change your vote option.

    Back to Williams. Or RBR as #2 to Max. Or Alonso to RBR, Bottas to McLaren.

    Max does seem to be costing Red Bull lots of money let alone points!
    I bet Riccy is loving all this, thinking about his contract. Red Bull don't have many driver options at the moment if they lose Ricky and Max is costing them then who is their backups?
    It wouldn't surprise me if he stays at Red Bull with a nice big pay rise.
