    Ferrari fully in the midfield. Outpaced by Racing Point, McLaren and Renault. Jesus.

    Vettel’s helmet looks a bit budget in the paint dept!

    He did really well there. Maybe the break did him good.

    Ferrari 1.0s slower than what they did last year, all Ferrari powered teams struggling it seems. What a coincidence.

    It's almost like the PU has lost power!!! I wonder how that happened???? Maybe the FIA could explain <laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh>
    What ever they were doing was gaining them 0.6 to 1.1sec!!! WOW that is huge!!!!!!

    Bloody lucky to not have results stripped... Their legal pace is absolutely shocking though. They've probably done Vettel a favor not re-signing him.

    Hamilton is under investigation for going faster under yellows.

    That's going to be fun for them to work out as his onboard cameras failed during qualifying so theres going to be no video evidence to prove either way.....

    Actually it was for not slowing down under yellow flags. But he gets away with it as the light was showing green..

    Been wondering how Mercedes have ended so far ahead. It's obvious that the Ferrari PU has been nerfed, but has the Honda also lost something? Given the track design it seems very clear cut in who's gained and who's not.
