Qualifying should be fun. From what I can tell, the McLaren's, Ferrari's and Max will all be right in the mix (although Lewis obviously won't be on pole).

 

We'll see proper pace in FP 3 I suspect. But yes, hope you're right.

 

Absolutely no clue what this grid is going to be. Norris looks rapid though, and the Ferrari's if they don't make a mistake are there or thereabouts.

 

Very unlikely to happen , but I’d like to see Lewis win .

He / the team ( esp Vasseur ) and the true fans deserve it .

 

Slightly geeky comment here, but Leonardo Fornaroli really is the next special talent coming through (imho), but almost uniquely he’s not attached to any of the junior F1 teams, so open for employment to someone smart next year.

 

Would be nice to see him win, and the Ferrari looks quite quick (if a bit skittish), but not sure why he or “true fans” deserve it?

 

Brilliant from Max. Bit disappointing from Ferrari. Set up for a good race though.

 

I just think he’s had so much **** to put up with particularly on on things that aren’t relevant . His fashion stuff , his sexuality . Maybe it’s social media , I just don’t like it .

True fans mean normal fans of Ferrari , normal Italians that scrimp and save to go to the Grand Prix .

I don’t know , I’m just getting heartily sick of the money is god attitude in modern life .

Just call me Eeyore .

 

I think true Ferrari fans couldn't care less if Lewis or Charles won it, and Charles has the greater chance because of the penalty given (unfairly) to Lewis for this race. But frankly, both of them kind of underperformed in Q3.

 

Either way, that was brilliant (again) from Max.

 

Well that was incredibly dull.

 

So disappointing!

 

I will watch almost any sport. From Curling to darts to snooker to American football… but F1 I just don’t get.

 

I'm have loved F1 since 1981 .

I will be the first to admit it’s been very VERY hard to get passionate about over the last few years .
I am dreading next year .

 

I actually really enjoyed F1 back in the 90s. It just seems really dull now if you aren’t into cars.

 

I keep dreaming the glory days of screaming V10’s and refuelling and 2 tyre manufacturers .



Still don’t know why they won’t allow a tyre war .

 

Rory McIlroy has just eagled the last hole to equal the leader, in the Irish Open. As you can imagine the crowd has gone crazy.
Still another player to finish who could join the playoff with a birdie (doable on a par 5) or win outright with an eagle.

 

Edit
The last player needs an eagle to join the playoff.

 

And of course he goes on to win it
