Early exit for Sainz with an engine issue and Russell only 6 tenths off Stroll's time, not bad when you consider the Williams is a second slower than everyone else

Fancy Max for pole, that Red Bull is hooked up!

Vettel and Verstappen for the front row is my prediction.

Max definitely the one to beat. Strange end to Q2 there with nobody improving on the second runs

skipper_G

Great lap from Verstappen, this could be a tasty fight tomorrow with three teams fighting for the win

weisses

Ferrari very unlucky just as in Austin :rolleyes:

seamusk84

Be good to see a decent show from Ferrari tomorrow.

Going to be fun watching leclerc burn through the field...Hopefully.

Interesting to see Haas top 10? Where the hell did that come from?!

Red Bull and Mercs race pace is meant to be better than Ferraris, Merc cannot overtake Ferrari on a straight, so providing Max keeps the lead into the first corner, he should be favourite for the win. Merc will have to under/over cut Ferrari in the pits you'd think to get by, assuming Hamilton doesn't manage it at the start. Max and Vettel having a coming together at the first corner definitely has possibilities, we'll see tomorrow!

Just seen the highlights now.

Wow that was a great lap by Max and great to see someone else on pole here instead of a Mercedes car.

Well done Max.

Red Bull and Honda doing a great job. Hopefully they can keep doing it into next year too and it could make for a really exciting season next year.

The chances of that are slim. 4 or 5 decent races a years.

I disagree. This year has been quiet good with both Ferrari and Red Bull improving a lot and Mclaren on the way up too. We have had some really good races. I think next year should be better again and then in 2021 with the new cars and new regulations that will be a very interesting year too.

Bernie had nothing much to say about Lewis winning 6,

Strange!

I don't think he could hear what they were asking him.

Or maybe he's just lost it.

PsychoPete

I love how Kimi just doesnt care and ignores people

Combination of both probably

skipper_G

Hamilton got a clean start, I expect the front few to not attempt any overtaking on track and it will all be done in strategy

Cool_CM

Jaysus that was close to tears for Max and Kubica

PsychoPete

Fantastic stuff from Max

Cool_CM

Puffs of smoke from Bottas and he's gone

TheDoctor

That hardly needed a safety car

Can’t hurt the race though!

Cool_CM

Full SC, this is going to make things interesting!

skipper_G

I really don't understand why they needed a full safety car for that. He was stopped at a gap in the fence FFS

PsychoPete

Looks like Lewis will have a fight on his hands

Cool_CM

Albon and Max, wow!

That was a nice clean pass from Max, Albon getting his elbows out on Vettel. Good pass and good defence.

skipper_G

Ferrari implosion!

Cool_CM

Ferrari....
This could be a Red Bull 1,2

PsychoPete

I was thinking they are going to end up touching

TheDoctor

That will be the end of the race under the SC so

Cool_CM

Gasly on the podium

PsychoPete

I think Lewis puitting is madness cause surely this will end under a safety car

ctrl-alt-delete

Looks like Leclerc remained straight,

Slightest touch has had disastrous results.

Great for redbull, bit strange for Lewis though.

skipper_G

That's all on Vettel, he moved over too soon on Leclerc.

Now, Albon and Gasly both on for a podium as it stands!

Cool_CM

Stroll out too

TheDoctor

Crazy amount of damage for such a slight touch

PsychoPete

Excellent job from Sainz today

PopePalpatine

Any chance of a RB/TR-style swap between Seb and Kimi? :pac:

TheDoctor

Very little warning it seemed it was coming in

Cool_CM

Come on Gasly!

d8491prj5boyvg

Come on gasly!!!

PsychoPete

Poor Gasly

Cool_CM

Aw

skipper_G

Noooo disaster for Albon

ctrl-alt-delete

Disaster for Albon,

Score for Gasly

PsychoPete

Ahh that's so tough on Albon

Cool_CM

Albon hit, Gasly 2nd, Sainz could get a podium here

TheDoctor

5 second penalty coming for Hamilton

ctrl-alt-delete

Not sure Lewis did too much wrong? Looked to be left plenty of room.

TheDoctor

Should get the same penalty Ricardo got earlier - 5 seconds

Joeface

Nice really nice for Gasly

Hamilton out of the points hopefully.
