    If he manages a good start and gets ahead of Bottas, this could be Kimi's greatest opportunity this season in the dry...

    Edit - it's wet but now that we've stepped out in it, it's not ridiculous. Maybe intermediates

    Famous last words..

    We were sitting at turn 14 and there was proper thunder and lightning with the rain to the extent that the big screen cut out for a bit.

    We got pissed on and it was glorious!

    At the risk of an I told you so from Vectra, Kimi played a blinder today and showed fantastic speed...was great to see him showing a high level in quali again

    Best quali we’ve had in a long time. Perfectly set up for a good race whatever the weather does. Fingers crossed it doesn’t just turn into a boring procession to the finish. Tracks not exactly known for its overtaking potential

    I think it will be real good or boring so ill check this thread to see how the start goes as I can only watch later on C4.

    If both Mercs go off in front then boring IMO.

    High temps today. Mercs struggled badly in practice with rear tyres due to high temps

    Mercedes might go to two stop race, as they would be in danger of being undercut by the Ferraris in a one stop race. As it was raining in q2 everyone has all tyre options open.

    The track temp is pretty high, the support races have been struggling with graining on the tyres. I suspect most will go for a 1 stop to keep track position but may be forced into 2 stop of the tyres start overheating

    Bold Prediction:
    Raikkonen beats the Mercs into the first corner. Has the pace to get away from them. Looks like he'll win his first race since his return to Ferrari and his engine blows up with a few laps to go and Bottas comes through to win.:P

    Looking forward to this race. I have a sneaky suspicion that Bottas will hold up Ferraris and Hamilton will win again. Fingers crossed for a Vettel victory!

    Martins grid walk usually good, then Crofty turns up.

    I am hoping that Ferrari can get a 1-2 with either Vettel or Kimi winning to keep the championship exciting and so they can dedicate it to the late Sergio Marchionne who was only 66 by the way.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    A Vettel 1st or 2nd and a Hamilton DNF would be great to level things up a bit beofre the break.

    Dunno if Softs is a great idea for Seb. Kinda lucky that Sainz is too so he'll be ok.

    Vettel doing the reverse tyre strategy, starting on soft.

    Agree with the point above, would be nice for Ferrari to win but id rather see that be Kimi.

    How many different ways did Ted say it was a great start by Merc? Wish they'd get off Merc's tit just a little bit.
