    Looks like you are right:
    Karun on the skypad shows it quite well, especially in comparison to the cars around him. I believe drs closes when you press the brake pedal or you manually close it!

    For once Red Bull have gone the wrong way on setup!

    1 Ferrari and no red bulls, interesting grid line-up tomorrow.

    I wonder if, along with praying for rain, they start Max in the pitlane to make some set up changes (and avoid inevitable carnage of T1).

    Yeah they have to from here. Change whatever you can, put a new engine in to maximise your power and hope for rain. They’ve got nothing to lose now so they have to.

    That's an interesting grid for the start.

    Carlos, he left Mclaren for Ferrari before being let go for Lewis. I remember the disappointment on Carlos's face when he realised Mclaren was becoming a good car while he was driving at Ferrari. What might have been had he stayed at Mclaren, who only knows?

    Ah, thanks, went totally over my head. In my opinion it was still a long road to go for McLaren and the move to Ferrari was a step up and brought him some success. I don’t think you can regret things over that kind of timeframe, far too much baggage to be carrying around otherwise.

    RedBull have form for short term driver swaps, but I assume the rules prevent them from dropping him into an RB for tomorrow? :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    It just seems it`s meant to be now for Lando to win the World Championship.Everything is comng together well with Oscar crashing out in the sprint and only 4th in quali for the Grand Prix. Even Max who was Lando`s only other rival is now falling away out in Q1 with a car that has no grip. Oscar had all his good fortune in the early part of the year.

    I agree,it``s a carbon copy of Max`s race last year when he made the whole grid look like part timers.Coming from 17th to win in the rain and there`s every chance the weather will have a big say in the result again.
