    I voted for Hamilton as he is in the zone and not due a meltdown yet.

    Haha, I had the same thought, that turn 8 to 11 is so narrow, it reminds me of the 2nd track in demolition derby, I think any accident there is gonna be a red flag, for sure someone is going into it, where's Maldonado when you need him???

    Well i think i now need to accept the facts. Maybe it is time to retire for Jenson.

    Just hasn't looked on it this season.

    Need these lap times to drop drastically or my pole prediction will be way off.

    With the speed around parts of the track and the close walls and catch fencing, there's real potential for some violent crashes here. Similar to those in Indy street courses. Bit worrying.

    Great runoff recon management by Hamilton.

    How many yellow flags and/or safety cars will we have in this race anyway? Place bets now.

    With the margin he had all Lewis needed to do was keep it on the track to get P2. Incapable of doing so in several attempts. Awful performance.

    My favorite part of this track so far is the self congratulatory billboards.

    He was lucky to get out of Q2, though I can't see him having too much problem getting passed, it might be a street circuit, but it's one with a 3km straight.

    C4 doing their best to mitigate Hamilton, it's pretty obvious if he takes the blame himself there's no one else who can remotely be blamed. already starting to hate their coverage, what was the point in the Suzie Wolffe section other than a promotional video?
