    Yeah after all he's mad max. Known for less patience.
    With that probability everyone will have good chance if SC is out early or later.
    I don't know pit stop prediction. It seems like one stop strategy.

    Could not agree more!!!

    If they both crashed out it would suit Lewis more than Seb....

    Great lap from Seb for a front-row start, didn't expect that and let's hope we can turn our fortunes around although even that will be too little too late. Pointless trying to predict what will happen in the race after the previous disasters but as ever our nerves will be at breaking point. Best of luck ragazzi and Forza Ferrari.

    Np, I don't mind with that. Rather than sitting back n watching Louis cruise for victory from the start

    Most important both cars should start race without reliability problem.

    To happen, seb needs to be aggressive at start right. That's wt I'm saying earlier.
    Corner Ham, where he would not take on vet. So that vet can take lead.

    It is clear how the Mercs will start - Ham moving sideways to impede Seb and Bottas speeding forward to not let Seb try to pass Ham on the side. Seb could well be 3rd at the first corner.

    Need a perfect launch. Then seb has inside of the corner where he can defend

    Seb's on the clean side of this grid I believe. He could have the advantage here.

    I'm gutted to hear that Arrivabene may be ousted at the end of the season.......one of the better Ferrari team bosses imo


    Forza Jules

    This. Races are hardly won at the start. With a good start he can challenge Ham but don't really see the point being "super aggressive", Hamilton can afford to have a crash with Seb. I'm more worried about Bottas being usual bonehead during the start..Kimi really should've got that extra 0,1 out of his Q-time to cover Seb from behind.

    I was saying the same yesterday during quali.
    Need that last push from kimi. To cover up vet. But he isn't doing anything good.

    Nah, you were just throwing another insult on his doorstep. I bet he is doing something good atleast :)
    For the record, Kimi will win this race.

    If he does good everyone is there to appreciate.
    If he's not delivering when he has right tools, then you should take the responsibility.
    Did you read his statement after quali ? There was more pace in the car, but he didn't nail the final lap
