The right side of the track was not rubbered in and a bit wet, if I am to trust my commentators. That's why Lewis, Kimi and the others had problems. You can see the smoke coming out of those tires at the start.

Pace is very good in sector 1 and 2, but poor in sector 3. Nearly 0.5 sec slower than Bottas last lap

are you talking about the same strategy team ferrrai has had, the one that messes up almost ALL the time if their life depended on it???

**Ferrarichamp** · 30th September 2018, 11:25

I'm sure MA has a plan.

**512 TR** · 30th September 2018, 11:25

Please, please a Merc KABOOM DNF.

**FerrariF60** · 30th September 2018, 11:26

i think this is gonna be an easy 1-2 for the Mercs.....if hamster wins again today....well i'm afraid seasons' OVER for us....although it's been over for the past two races already

**jgonzalesm6** · 30th September 2018, 11:26

Max P5!!!!

**WS6TransAm01** · 30th September 2018, 11:26

Ferrari just can't keep up.

yeah, to take all the blame as to why ferrari will NOT win this race....or maybe to hand in his resignation at the end of the year.....he's NO better then Domenicali, just as spineless as he was

**tifosi1993** · 30th September 2018, 11:28

Red Bull is mighty in the sector 3, nearly 0.6sec faster

**Ferrarichamp** · 30th September 2018, 11:28

could Max conceivably win?

no, he is on the better tyre at moment.

**tifosi1993** · 30th September 2018, 11:29

Bottas is struggling

**mwk360** · 30th September 2018, 11:30

fight leclerc!!! come on

**Christopher** · 30th September 2018, 11:31

I wonder if Merc will let Bottas win

**FerrariF60** · 30th September 2018, 11:31

who said we did this on purpose in Quali to be on second row to get the tow and be P1 by turn 2 or 3??

i guess it did not work and NOTHING WAS PLANNED.....we just are too slow compared to the Mercs in quali

**tifosi1993** · 30th September 2018, 11:31

So Red bull nearly 1 sec slower in the sector 1 but 1 sec faster in S3. Car setup I guess

**IulianFerrari** · 30th September 2018, 11:32

Max is faster than the top 4

**Christopher** · 30th September 2018, 11:33

Hamilton's front left is blistering

**tifosi1993** · 30th September 2018, 11:34

Ferrari needs to stay out

**WS6TransAm01** · 30th September 2018, 11:34

Should put Seb now for the Undercut.

**Rob** · 30th September 2018, 11:35

if people find it hard to support and cheer the team on, in these "struggling" times, Go support a team like Merc or RBr who seem to be doing alot better jobs than Ferrari.

Its way to easy to moan, and seems its too hard for people to support a team that isnt winning, wait and see how the race goes before shouting mouths of that team is no good, we got no pace blah blah blah.
