Well, well, well. Mercedes continue with their self-inflicted wounds. Not sure why Mercedes letvtheir drivers do an additional lap after their cooldown lap. Just another strategic blunder. And Wolff will go out there and talk about it being “the right decision” At least p4 has been salvaged with a good Hamilton initial lap.
But all congrats to the top3 Norris Sainz and Russell. A very tasty grid to start the race.

Hmmmm .
Another curious uncharacteristic screw-up from Merc , when they had Max at the back on his heels .
And Hamilton , normally a pretty fine wet driver , first tags the wall , compromising his team mate's car as well , and then spins , himself .
So , if he's getting a gear-box penalty , he'll start 7th , and he and Max are pretty likely to see each other in the race at some point .
Could you write a better script ?
George may have a good chance of leading out of the first corner , being on the clean side in Lando's draft , so the rest of the grid seems to be taking up their roles in the grand drama as well .

It was a fun qualifying. It's great to see Norris on pole. I hope he can come away with the win. Mclaren looking good this week. Would be great to see another 1-2 with Norris winning this time.
Red Bull really has to be wondering about Perez. Unfortunately, Gasly didn't have a very good session.
It gonna be a much more interesting race with Mercedes screwing up things. With Hamilton starting back so far - Toto going to be holding his breath on lap 1. There is a potential Hamilton could get caught up in a mess of not his making.
Russell may present a problem for Toto next year.

Several sources are stating that it was in fact again the break magic button defeating Lewis that caused the incident. Surprising being that it's been in use for quite a while apparently, and the issue has bit him twice this year.
As for qually, another error by Lewis costs him the apparent easy pole or at least 2nd on the grid, and probably hurt Bottas just as much if not more. Though it wouldn't be the first time a slick pit entry has caused him issues, this time the overall damage was probably less. Though uncharacteristic for him, this season thus far had shown a lot of mistakes from Lewis, with some of them not being recovered from. He keeps losing easy advantages and good points, and it's making life easier for Max to challenge him for the WDC. The fact that Russell was one of the ones to benefit this time is probably just salt in the wound.
Other than Merc, I think most who made it to Q3 got at least a decent run on the dry tires. But with Q1 and Q2 being slick, it's hard to say who will really move through the pack for the race if it stays dry. We could be in for a decent race at Sochi either way.
Great to see McLaren follow up the last race with a great performance in qually. I'm glad for Lando, he's been working hard and it all finally came together this time.

I agree, we have seen a number of errors from Hamilton this year. At least two race win points worth of errors. Mercedes pitwall seem keen to hand the championship to Redbull. They are making it easy for Redbull as they are failing to capitalize on Redbulls setbacks. Redbull just needs to keep on doing what they are doing at the moment and both championships is theirs for the taking.

The young junior champions are now making their mark in F1. Norris is proving to be a top shelf driver at the moment. good on him for his first poll in F1
