Norris surprises and almost takes poll. Russell with excellent qualifying.

No Mercedes post-qualifying prime-time interviews.

What a turn of events. The Mclaren is now faster than the Mercedes. Lando Norris a future star to watch out for. Wow, almost pinched poll from Verstappen.

Williams in the top 10. Great drive from Russell. He just keeps knocking on that Mercedes door. He would probably start 8th if Vettel is penalized for obstructing Alonso. That would be his best grid start for Williams and probably Williams' best start in five years

If you have any doubt that Mercedes is done this season, here it is. They are clearly three-tenths of the Redbull outright pace.

It seems Mclaren is still developing their car. It was noted that they now have better straight line speed than Mercedes.

These are not headline times. Considering pole last weekend was 1.03.841 by Verstappen. Mercedes would be back in their usual positions behind Verstappen on..

Lewis will get pole. Anyone fancy a wager... the loser has to shave his head?

Well, you better shave your head and put a pic on here for us to see it Zico.

Vettel hit with 3 spot penalty.

Interesting Qualy with some real surprises. Russell beating the Ferraris was a real wow moment and will do his Merc seat prospects no harm at all.
Still cant get my head round how Norris got so close to Max with that stunning lap while Danny still hasn't got to grips with the Mac at all. If he keeps going at this rate Lando could be the biggest standout of the season.
