Amazing qualifying effort by Hamilton, Stroll and Ocon. I hope they can surprise Hamilton in the first corner tomorrow, although I doubt that.
Räikkönen again faster than his team mate.

Just got back from the circuit. I left around 3:30pm when they kept on announcing further information after 15 minutes. The rain had completely stopped from 2:35pm to 3:00pm. They could've easily have finished Q1 within that time and part of Q2. Glad I didn't wait it out until 4:40pm as I was fucking soaked and cold. Kudos to all the fans who waited it out that long though. Hoping for an eventful race tomorrow rather than a procession. |

But isn't it ridiculous how little amount of rain is enough for the red flag that would go on and on until it's almost dry? I think after today the FIA should really change their condition evaluations. Now it's one old man's opinion, wether the track is safe or not. Couldn't they have like drivers voting system or something? Like if half of the grid thinks it's OK to have a go, then let them go on the track. Maybe let one or two drivers to go for an evaluation lap instead of using the safety car, which isn't really a good evaluation car for F1 standards. Drivers complain all the time how slow that thing is and with regular road tires, I don't think it's the best car for the evaluation. I'm not blaming Bernt Maylander for doing bad job or not knowing the conditions, but if he does two evaluation laps without using the wipers, which we all can see that looks pretty steady laps, then why does Charlie still need ten or twenty minutes of waiting? It's not raining, why hold the cars in the pits and calling a random time to 5 minute intervals when it's ok to go on the track. In FP3 and in qualifying the drivers waited the light to go green for three minutes. What the hell was that waiting for? Because Charlie was watching his clock, waiting for the time that he thought was appropriate for a restart. When the Q1 was finally continued, there were no rooster tails or difficulties to see the car. But when the Q3 was on its final minutes, it was difficult to see one car and drivers, even Hamilton were complaining about visibility. And yet they were improving their times! The conditions at Q3 seemed to be worse than during the red flag that one whiny idiot caused almost like intentionally. None of this evaluation crap makes any logical sense today! The F2 formation laps were a joke! Nato complained, Charlie took extra three laps that set most of the drivers asking what was going on. Then they thankfully had a standing start, which was very clean, because the conditions were quite good. I liked the F2 start system, get them few extra laps around the circuit, but then have a proper start. Very reasonable, everything went well. But that condition evaluation process is outdated. It only takes two or three drivers complaining and one going full retard and the old man decides it's not safe for the next two hours. Helmut Marko got it all right today. Too bad RBRs have stupid penalties, they would have deserved good starting positions. |

Does anyone know what the high-pitched whistling noise was? It sounded like the Turbo but very high. |

Ferrari  Might have lost the championship here. I expect at least one of them will leave the first chicane without a front wing. |

Stroll in starting on front row, just an optimistic move on the start and a first lap DNF |

Glad to see the FIA learnt from the Korea 2010 fiasco and mandated that there has to be at least some form of track activity on a freshly laid track surface before F1 uses it.....Ohh that's right, they haven't learnt shit. |

Apparently only one driver (Lewis) starts on his original qualifying position from yesterday after all penalties. Skickat från min SM-G870F via Tapatalk |

EDIT: It gets louder the faster they go, so I think that's it. I thought it was some part of the hybrid system, but you might be right. Damn, those engines are too quiet when you can hear the tire noise over them.

Tells pretty much the story with the over complex ruling and penalty systems. Now if someone needs to work on their cars, some of them might get more penalties or start from the pits. We have to wait and see. |

Now they've changed the grid again. Perez qualified 11th and with a five place grid penalty, starts 10th... |

So, Massa has told Stroll to "go for it" on the start. This could not end well...

So. Mixed grid, check. Super exciting qualifying, check. Great action in support series, check. No rain on Sunday, check. Get ready for a great dissapointment. |

Mixed grid is always great but not here because the fast guys will be fly by the slower cars on the loooong straights, especially with DRS. Meh |
