Ok Charles is safe.
Ok Charles is safe.
Both Ferrari's into Q3.
Vettel on Softs can’t improve over mediums
Vettel on Mediums still can’t improve over softs
Wasted One fresh set of mediums....!!
I would say vettel got lucky. Albon & Hulk didn’t improve.
Charles will start the race on mediums, Vettel on softs.
Good that both cars are in q1...!! Lec doing great job...
Hope bottas will repeat Q2Lap
Albon is very good at sim racing, but unfortunately, in the real world he struggles. Let's see how long he will survive. But I don't think Red Bull have anyone better to replace him (unless they go for Vettel).
Mercedes turned down racing points engine to avoid protest :P
Jeeezus.....over a 1 sec between the Mercs and the rest of the field.
It's not how start but how you finish.
CHARLES!! P4
Well done
Great lap Charles
Only a tenth behind Max..I love it
Forza Ferrari
We'll struggle with race pace. At least we can be happy with Charles efforts.
Over a second down. I thought it would be two so... yay!
Great job by Lec ... vettel he’s dancing on the circuit
That merc car ........... bottas please handover the car to any other driver ....when it matters he doesn’t perform at all.
Charles done a great job there. Only slightly slower than verstappen. That merc is ridiculous.
Congratulations to Leclerc for P4.
Easy championship for Ham this season once again...!!
When Ferrari dominated in 2002/4 the FIA tried many things/rule changes to slow them down but Mercedes have been dominating for 7 years now and .. it's all fine. why?

Mercedes 7 tenths faster than last year.
Red Bull a tenth slower than last year.
Ferrari 2 tenths slower than last year.
Looks like the updates Ferrari had have improved things. Ignoring Merc this is a very competitive field. Will be looking at the rest of the year as to whether Ferrari can really battle Red Bull even with a heavily restricted engine.
Rigth now i don't believe Bottas has the same power modes as Hamilton.
Even when Bottas gets pole it seems that Lewis finds more secs bettween q2 and q3.
If before one could say Hamilton wasn't pushing it, today he spun on q2 so he was pushing it.
