Bring! It! On!
Reading between the lines with Horner on Sky earlier he was eluding to having to do something different to compete with Mercedes on this track - and this seemed to be the general consensus on what they were most likely to do.
Presume it depends on who gets pole now, if the Mercs get pole then the softs will be a waste surely.
Gentlemen's agreement ha, total free for all more like
Yeah mediums, and very impressive considering.
I'm thinking the Mercs will be .2 or .3 faster on the softs in Q3
Red Bull going for the sly tow here
Yeah just heard Ted confirm it, only him and the Mercs managed it. That's a mighty impressive lap
Lewis will have more grip on the softs at the end of the race but Max will have the mediums but the car will be on a lighter fuel load by that stage. Not sure which I'd prefer
max is provisional pole as it stands. Lewis looked to be fighting the car.
Hamilton needs to find half a second on his final run.
Will the mercs use Bottas?
Tsunoda continuing to impress too.
No we're not
Half a second the gap, Checo playing the team game to help Max and then sticks it in P3
What a lap!
Tsunoda has had his lap time deleted.
It was a great strategy it seems - Sky saying Max then towed Perez on the following lap.
Lando complaining about Redbull.
Have RB played this last race super slyly? This had changed the dynamic of the race totally. If Max gets pole and Perez stays 3rd, Perez could play a massive role in the race
There's been some serious sandbagging til now. I fancy Hamilton to go faster than Verstappen's first lap.
Final three minutes of qualifying for this season.
Perez to “slide” into the side of hamilton on the first corner
Max has pole now surely.
Didn't expect that
Wow. I was not expecting that!
Max gets pole and norris in the mix in third. Perez in fourth which is important.
1st and 4th versus 2nd and 6th.
Advantage Redbull for now - but the race is obviously a different kettle of fish.
Magic by Max and Perez.
Well now! Isnt that interesting
Wow, cat amongst the pigeons now. Tomorrow will be interesting now at least.
That aged well.
Practice means nothing, roll on a great race tomorrow!
Hamilton the only car in the top 5 on Mediums I think? Might work against him early in the race.
Wasn't expecting that, all on the line tomorrow. This is fantastic, to go into the final race of the season with the two championship rivals level on points starting on the front row together
