    If it does now rain that extra 20 secs down the road for Bottas is going to look good, Vettel too.

    All sorts going on.

    Vettel deffo seems to have deliberately picked his tyres there.

    Massa very naughty there.

    Small hope for alonso.

    More experience guys showing the way with these cars


    Q3 chaos coming imo rain....

    Really thought Vettel was going to get it there, wasn't till S3 that Hamilton started to pull ahead. Wonder if they'll get a second attempt with this rain.

    Well we're not going 4-5s faster, but I guess that's a lot to ask at this track. The tyres are obviously harder this year.

    Conditions seem poor each afternoon. P1 and p3 quicker.

    They all just seem struugling for grip.

    Bottas looking ragged, he's certainly trying.
