So qualifying today. It again looks close between Ferrari & Mercedes however Hamilton seems to be having problems this weekend.
And Alonso's engine went bust...
Observations after Q2
1. Mclaren continue to be an embarrassment. It is sad to see where this team is now.
2. Wehrlein proving to all why he is that good and Ericsson why he is the worst driver on the grid
3. Renault are looking good.
4. What's up with Force India?
Bottas takes pole!
Ferrari's fairytale is over. Third race in the season and already half a second behind Bottas. Expect the same 45 seconds when Catalunya comes.
congrats bottas
Nah I think it's down to the fact that the Ferrari performs better when the track temperature is in the higher bracket, as in Australia I would say the Ferraris were definitely the faster car.
So Lewis and Valtteri need to make thier results count when they can because when the higher temp tracks arrive the Ferraris will be mighty.

evening guys, girls and dawgs.
Hola.
Alonso's car has problems, back in the pits apparently. :(
'Sup dawgz! McLaren is a mess Vandorn not racing. I looking forward to Fred moving to Renault :crazy:
Yep. Alonso must be fuming again.
Does anyone know if he is starting from the pits or whether its all over already?
sorry I thought it was Fred was not starting. Its Stoffel. Whatever Mclaren seem to have gotten worse again. How is that possible.
Here we go!
Bottas is slightly slower than Seb & Lewis and is holding up a great battle here. Red Bulls just in touch.
Boss has closed down the leaders
Wow. 10 laps and the top 5 are within 2.6 seconds. Amazing.
Adios Max
oh no brake failure.
Now Sainz Kobayashi's Stroll. As the car leaving the pits surely he has to slot in behind.
Hamilton in trouble
What a freakin' mess
useless mercedes strategy SMH
split the damn strategy fools
either pit hamilton early or pit bottas early to cover the ferrari.
instead, they do nothing and lose out, resulting in a double pit and shambolic failure'
at least RBR did the right thing.
Mercedes continue to eff up their strategy
so annoying
Felipe baby!
5 sec penalty for Lewis...
Live timings down?
Welcome to Mercedes, Valtteri
finally mercedes release hamilton from slow man bottas ugh.
TBH i was hoping that bottas would be challenging vettel at the front slowing both of them down, but bottas just got slower lap after lap on the same tyres as vettel.
baffling lack of pace. SMH
Again, Honda is doing disservice to Fred.
He has to pass Palmer twice
Palmer keeps knocking pieces of his wings off. Fred moans at Honda again.
mercedes better stick to a 1 stop!
well...maybe not.
but if they are going to pit, now would be the time
I said early on to my father the race was over as soon as Vettel pulled the gap and the penalty. Shame we didnt get the wheel to wheel race between Seb & Lewis
Why haven't they pitted Hamilton yet?
This is silly. Everyone is more than a second a lap faster than him!
Isn't Hamilton supposed to take that 5 second stop & go drive thru pits penalty?
Merecedes have been spoiled by racing only each other. Now they have to race other teams they appear to have no idea.... silly strategy could be costing Lewis 2nd and maybe 3rd if Kimi gets his act together
Hamilton will need a VSC or SC to save his race.
the longer he stays out the worse it gets
it is lap 40. 17 laps left with super softs is doable
and a faster tyre.
they bothced the strategy as soon as vettel pitted and they did not react with either driver.
oh well.
p2 is still available if he pits soon.
and i am just dissapointed with borttas for not even being competitive with vettel
Ok thanks.
