    So Kimi on a different strategy from the other front runners for the race


    Could work in his favour this time.

    Definitely, the track temperature seems to be super sensitive to cloud cover. Depending on what it's like tomorrow it could be easier to get the tyres up to temperature. Makes for an interesting race hopefully

    It did do a great job and great to see some progress from Sauber too.

    Kimi only P6, Vettel has a fairly sizable cushion to Hamilton

    Kimi and Ric are still in this. Both made mistakes. Could be one of the tightest grids in years. Brilliant to see 3 top teams so close. It's been a while.

    OK, maybe not that tight. :p


    Some lap that by Vettel being an early one. Bad luck for Kimi. Danny Ric on the 2nd row. Should be a damn tasty start to the race tomorrow.

    He was purple sector 1 and 2, could have had pole. Anyway the positive is the race looks promising given how strong all three teams are.

    Ah feck sake Kimi. Not the most exciting of qualifying sessions. Was hoping the Red Bulls could do better but at least it is not a Mercedes on pole. So hopefully the race tomorrow is good. Almost guaranteed a safety car at some stage on this track during the race.

    Enough of a mix in the top six I suppose for an interesting start.

    Impressed with Force India

    5 drivers starting on super soft at the front, the rest of the top 10 including Kimi staying on ultras. Tasty opening race tomorrow when those purples are dialed in by lap three. Nomnom.

    Was planning to go to the race some year.

    The F2 drivers were talking about a cross wind at the end of the main straight. The impact for F1 cars will be more severe with a bigger aero footprint

    Really looking forward to the race today.

    Would like to see somebody new winning. Maybe even a Force India, preferably Ocon.

    Realistically can't see anything other than a Vettel win.

    I think if Force India won I'd have a coronary, at least I'd die happy though :D

    I always hated the grid walk, but this is terrible (SKY)
    OK so now that it's over, they didnt actually talk to any drivers!
