Brilliant. This is Mercs best track for quali gap to rivals. Beat one and clise enough that race is not a definite Merc win on pure pace.

2 tenths off.. not bad.. not bad at all..

Agree... 2 tenths, with vettel telling on team radio that he made a litle mistake on his lap... very good indeed.

[mizf1]

Anyone know the last race in the past 3 years when we qualified within 3ths of a Merc?

[KurtC]

good position, the gap is short, and all we need is one of great Seb starts, and hopefully a crap Lewis starts like he usually does hahaa... anyway... this is another season and the car is really fast , there will be competition if the team keep it up

[alfa84]

Well done to our boys. Very happy with the result. In line withe the expectations.��

Fantastic lap by Seb. Don't know how much more he could have extracted from the car. Not sure what happened kimi. Good job Ferrari.

[mizf1]

Vettel having a good look of the Merc even touching it.

[DJTaurus]

Is it better to be p3 than p2 on this track ?

[jgonzalesm6]

Vettel has to get a good jump at the start tomorrow and get that clean air.....season "looks" good

[phsyklone]

[fronaldo]

I know i already said this, but just a quarter of a second diffence, in Albert Park no less... FeelsGoodMan

[fmatiasii]

guys, do you realize what this means? it means there is a possibility that we can win a lot of podiums this season or perhaps even win the wdc. i can't wait for the engine upgrades.

His last sector was absolutely phenomenal, that's why.

It is always better to be as high up as possibly, Vettel will lay some rubber down before formation lap so should be ok

Are you sure??

Malaysia GP 2015 Lewis pole with 1:49.834 , Seb P2 with 1:49.908 , but was on raininig conditions ... and we all know who won that race ;) ...

this looks familiar........remember when seb was still in rbr and how he did the same look with our car? then he eventually came to us.

[phsyklone]

Could it be that Ferrari have a lot of downforce hence we are struggling i sector one or is it Mercs PU thats making the difference. I personally think Ferrari and Merc engines now are maybe separated by atleast 5-10hp I could be wrong

[phsyklone]

Toto wolfs smile is not that big as in previous years

[mizf1]

Sky said our last front row start was Singapore 2015

[fronaldo]

His last sector was absolutely phenomenal, that's why.

Yeah..fastest s3 32.853 to 32.918 Hamilton..Slightly slower in S2..But this is Albert Park which basically Mercedes fortress and Ferrari 0.26 s behind..
Game on tomorrow and this season
