Poor middle sector by Seb, slower than Hamilton despite his mistake and Raikkonen was purple there. Come on!

Perhaps Kimi didn't want to improve and slowed down so that he can start on US tyres.

Yup, both Kimi and Ham did 40.6, Vettel 40.7.

i have a feeling ham and bot will get into 1:34s unless some good samaritan can ruin there outlap

**IulianFerrari** · 24th November 2018, 12:58

6 way for the pole, this is exciting. Ham does however look to have something in hand

YESSSS WE WON

**mwk360** · 24th November 2018, 13:02

aw well atleast first half of the season was really fun

**Michal2_F1** · 24th November 2018, 13:03

Mercedes too quick for us. Wait till you see British articles that Ferrari is faster and Hamilton is making a difference and Vettel is terrible.

Meh, hopefully someone else wins tomorrow and it would be very bad if he fails to hand the win to Bottas.

**mwk360** · 24th November 2018, 13:04

damn kimi's last quali with ferrari he looked quicker than seb until it came time to quali

lol fools believe that here too forget british media

**DelMar** · 24th November 2018, 13:05

That final sector is showing that the chassis is simply not good enough. Half a second of in S3....

**nani_s23** · 24th November 2018, 13:05

Ferrari lacking in S3. Those tyres aren’t lasting for whole lap on ferrari

**IulianFerrari** · 24th November 2018, 13:05

That Mercedes just a bit too fast for us today. The race, however is a different story and hopefully we can get them there

**Ferrarichamp** · 24th November 2018, 13:05

well that sucks.

**tifosi1993** · 24th November 2018, 13:06

Our car used to have great traction. But the failed upgrades and Mercedes making a step forward with their own upgrades really hindered us quite a bit. Oh well...it's almost over.

Na, Hamilton and Bottas will pull of into the sunset and finish +25 seconds over any rival. RB and Ferrari get tied up in turn 1...standard Merc doimination race, boring finish to a dismal 2018.
