Ooooo…. here come the Ferraris.

 

Mercedes sandbagging in practise. Obvious. Where did Kimi pull that lap from?

 

I heard it was over a late starter..

 

I hope not but I fear you could be right..
Wouldn't be surprised if they were on higher fuel loads and concentrated on tyre deg, which is likely to be high..

 

dunno, they lucked into the win in Aus, I think Vettel has their pace and will throw a spanner in the works if the Ferrari can find some reliability.

Williams may have a bit of concern over tyre delaminations.

I really don't think the order will change much in China, I don't see why it should. Gutierrez has all the bad luck in Haas at the moment, can he not catch a 'brake?'

Will be good to see what kind of start Lewis can pull, and where he can finish. It will show us whether he is actually up for the title fight or not.




Anybody planning to wake up early for SP3?

 

Think this race is a prime opportunity for Vettel. Really we should have a Ferrari starting in 2nd and 3rd at a minimum so Ferrari, providing they get off the line, have the split strategy option to take on Nico and they simply have to take their chances to beat Merc when they can.

Their race pace has been really good this year so far and if they stay sound I think they can bag this one.

A wet race would be intriguing in that it may bring Ricciardo into play as that Red Bull has some grip. McLaren also looked very decent in the wet in Aus practice so it would be nice to see Alonso and Button getting interested in some big points.

 

Can anyone explain what's going on? I'm struggling to recall the last time I tuned into an F1 session and something farcical wasn't happening.

 

This is the worst sport in the world.

 

Ive just logged on and your comments echo what I've been shouting. Word for word.

 

Hamilton starting at the back, could be interesting. Just need Rosberg to bin it too and we could have a cracker tomorrow.

 

Mercedes Wehrlein and Hamilton already out.

 

Rosberg's being handed this championship on a plate so far. There's a long way to go and things can change, but he could easily be 30-40+ points ahead of Hamilton tomorrow. Golden opportunity.

 

Sky are a propaganda machine. Shut the **** up about Hamilton and his chances tomorrow. If anything they are pretty slim you deluded old farts.

 

Urghh Sky are Vomits. He qualifys last and probably has the 4th best car this weekend and they think he could win

 

So Rosberg starting on pole (probably) on softs with two Super soft Ferrari's behind him (probably). Better get his start right

 

Always nice to have the result decided in Q2. Proper **** up from Ferrari, they even had several minutes to see what Mercedes before committing to a strategy.

 

Force India just got rewarded for having a wheel fall off. It completely ****ed Massa and the McLarens. Why not add enough time for drivers to start a lap after a red flag?
