I hope 2018 Seb takes 20 poles
I hope 2018 Seb takes 20 poles
Crazy to thing our last win was in Hungary. Hopefully we will beat Bottas tomorrow.
Vettel didn't put his sectors together. But with two Ferraris in the top three and Hamilton at the back through his own fault, we shouldn't complain too much.
Ferrari had the car to take pole today atleast in the hands of vet. I think he missed his 51st pole. So he was disappointed
These are the best sectors, it still wouldn't have been enough compared to best sectors by Bottas.
Bottas 17.299 34.773 16.226 1:08.322 Best Sectors combined: 1.08.298
Vettel 17.370 34.680 16.257 1:08.360 Best Sectors combined: 1.08.307
Raikkonen 17.364 34.804 16.370 1:08.538 Best Sectors combined: 1.08.538
well Vettel hasn't done too well from pole this year, so maybe starting P2 is a sign we're going to win
By the way RBR did very well to retain Verstappen, he was again 4 tenths faster than Daniel today.
It will interesting to see the quali speed trap info. It may be crucial tomorrow, to pass or to defend.

with Max on the second row, anything can happen, and as Murray Walker used to say, it usually does.
Great chance for Seb win tomorrow
Speculation, Ham crash was due to a failure in the new “upgraded for 2018” suspension Mercedes is testing.

Go Ferrari, beat them all!
I'd rather we had a win tomorrow than pole today, hopefully we can play the team game and get the better of Bottas, as long as Max doesn't spoil it. Problems for HAM just came too late when it no longer really matters.
Our race pace was better than Bottas, and RBR was similar than us, Ham had better pace.

“TODAY IT WAS CLOSE, AND TOMORROW…”
Seb and Kimi confident for the race after tight qualifying battle
Interlagos, November 11th – Scuderia Ferrari has been a regular on the front row of the grid, including taking two pole positions, since the last Singapore Grand Prix and Brazil was no exception today as Sebastian topped the time sheet right up to the last run in Q3 and lost pole to Bottas by a mere 38 milliseconds, while Kimi lined up right behind his team-mate. Tomorrow, in what are expected to be warmer and dry conditions, the 71-lap race promises to provide fans with lots of excitement.
“We have improved since Friday, and that’s the important thing” said Seb. “I was happy with my car today, but in my last run, I was perhaps a bit too shy in braking for the first corner. I had a better run at the end of my out-lap, so there was probably more grip than I expected there. In the last sector, I knew I could make up for some of the lost time, and I did, but it wasn’t enough. However, it was very close, and we’re usually even closer in race conditions, so my motivation is high for tomorrow and I’ll being aiming for a win”.
“The feeling with the car was good most of the time” commented Kimi, “but somehow the laps were always a bit tricky, with everybody trying to get their free space. When the tyres switched on well, then everything was easier, but with the traffic in the out-lap it was not always the case. Some sets were feeling better than others purely because of having a bit better out-lap. It was a bit hard to trust them and not get a front lock-up at the first corner. Overall the car itself was nice to drive when the tires worked, so it’s a bit of a shame. It was not the most straightforward qualifying but in the end it was a decent result. I think we did a solid job today, we can consider it a good team result. For sure there was more to get, but the race is tomorrow and it’s going to be long. For the start we’ll try our best, the first corner is quite tight, so we’ll try to make a good start and see what we can get”.

The fastest theoretical strategy for 71-lap tomorrow is a one-stopper: start on supersoft, change to soft between lap 26 and 32.
Second-fastest strategy is a two-stopper. Two supersoft stints of 22 laps each, then soft to the flag (2/2).

Massa just told us that Sainz told him he deliberately got in his way as payback for spoiling his long run in FP. Felipe off to talk to Charlie.
FIA issues letter to ALL MEDIA regarding taking appropriate measures from crime in the area.
