    Only silver lining is that he can go full Honda and take new PU units to be fresh for the season. But not a great situation

    Hope Max takes Hamilton out at the start tomorrow, to make the title race interesting. Never knowa luckier driver then Hamilton this season, 0% problems all season.

    Stranger things have happened , but not looking good . If it rains though and they tell kimi to let vettel past , he could still get useful points .

    Always assuming the mercy don't have any issues .

    Hamilton already had more than a race in his pocket. Imo it was already over.

    This is just icing on cake for Hamilton.

    And our season becomes very dull indeed.

    Btw Williams..
    What a joke. Any curvy bits and they fall apart.

    A difference a year makes. This race last season ended Hamilton's title hopes, this year it has the potential to make them.

    In all fairness that was a cracking lap from Hamilton. From nowhere to pole in 24 hours.

    In the end it doesn't matter, all that matters is tomorrow's result. No points on Saturdays.

    All these upgrades in Bottas car and it's alot slower then the old spec. With Max in 3rd could still be a carnage 1st corner.

    The lengths Vettel goes to to keep away from Verstappen at the start.

    Honda with good 1 lap pace again, they've been fairly consistent Q3 qualifiers lately, they've obviously made a step forwards with power. If they can get the harvesting working properly and some reliabilty STR might not be a laughing stock.
