    I wonder if Mercedes will reconsider now with Bottas on pole.

    This could end up interesting tomorrow for the Sprint Race. With Bottas up front, do they risk trying to let Lewis by without Max slipping through? And if they don't most likely at some point Valterri will fade, possibly leaving Lewis in the center fighting off Max.

    Of all the times for Bottas to beat Lewis, this really wasn't the best for the team.


    Either way, it looks like Merc has the pace advantage at the temple of speed. Lewis should run away with the win unless something dicey happens of race pace is a lot different than we are expecting. Strong run by the Mclarens, surprised they slipped in Q3. It could still shake up some though, as the track was ramping up so fast and the tow coming into play so much that the race could really spread them out, or see plenty of trains with DRS.


    They need to do something about the pit exits and outlaps NOW before it ends in shambles. Probably not an easy thing to fix, but they have to do it before we see major carnage.

    It is going to be an interesting start to the sprint race. With Hamilton and Verstappen attacking Bottas and both Mclarens attacking Verstappen and possibly Hamilton. The Mclarens are quick at this race, hence Verstappen would be looking over his shoulder on that long straight to the first corner where the Mclaren is quicker.

    I think a Mclaren is going to end up in the top three coming out of turn one. This is one race where Bottas need to keep on the pace of both Hamilton and Verstappen and not fade backwards in race time.

    What a snore fest... Ah well. At least tomorrow should be a bit more interesting with Lewis having to go full attack.
    Glad to see McLarens aggressive softs strategy paying off.

    The Sprint idea sounded good.. but has failed to live up to expectations, they should probably just can it.

    Only thing interesting about this race was how fast and far Hamilton dropped.

    Too bad about Gasly, he actually had good start and in the end just got unlucky.

    From the conspiracy corner comes the thought that , because Merc was supposed to be fast here(as Bottas was) , an uncharacteristic bad start from Lewis in the stupid sprint makes room for more entertainment than a romp into the distance .
    That comes after the rare event when the towed car didn't go faster than the towing car in the qually on Friday .
