2019 Russian GP - Sochi

Kimi......Sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry! ,)

The 'Scuds' look mighty

Albon reeked! Has a lot of places to make up tomorrow!

Hmmmmmmmm! Nice lap by Rogro. A bit surprised am I:shock:

Number 4 in a row for Leclerc. I don't even think we have seen his best laps yet either.

They didn't show much of the lap, but whatever Lewis did to get ahead of Seb was a solid effort.

Alright McLerc, the guy is a god. "The Boss" heroically takes p2, and oh dear.....Charles has made a meal out of fettel......again!

I think we see the trend of things to come with Leclerc. He is the man to beat. If there is anything resembling the changing of the guards, this is close to it. Vettel is beat and you see it in his eyes. Mercedes is looking 2nd best more clearly now and within reach of the Redbulls.

The man of the moment is Leclerc. I think he is going to be hard to beat over a season in 2020. Mercedes would need to digg deep in the engine department to get back on level gterms with Ferrari.

I guess they wanted to flex some military might by having the air show going on during the qually interviews. Maybe Putin doesn't intimidate enough just invading the cool down room after races now. :laugh:

Leclerc seems to be the real deal. With Ferrari making strong improvements, it's hard to tell where he really falls compared to the very top though. I don't think Seb is the racer he used to be. So beating him, though still no easy task, is not a comparison to the likes of Lewis or Max IMO.

I hope Mercedes can get their act together. I want to see a proper duel between Leclerc and Hamilton, hopefully with Verstapenn in the mix too. At the moment, Ferrari, like Mercedes are running away with it. Though, it is too late to make a difference to the championships outcome for 2019. But certainly an indication that the 2020 season is going to be exciting from the get go.

I wonder if Ferrari will use Seb as a human torpedo to put "The Boss" out of the race at turn one? That would tighten the WDC up a tad!
