Final Race before the summer Break :
Plenty to happen , Friday is hot and dry . Saturday is a stormy mixed bag
Session Times
And Sebastian Vettel stealing all the head lines .
Hope Seb has a good sign off over the next 10 races
I’m gutted for Max, but delighted with how it all worked out. It’s great to see such a different line up. Fair play to Russel. The Hamilton interview on Channel 4 was hilarious!!!! Russel is so clearly embarrassing him again. Great to see Alpine doing so will and Norris too.
I think Leclec’s biggest threat is his team mate. I expect Russel to finish on the podium.
Great to see some one other than Ferrari or red bull get pole, and a third maiden pole this year at that.
Fack me max is a whingy little baby on the radio, wonder how many of his team wanna just slap him. Oh wait we only talk about people complaining on the radio when it's a merc, the little angel max can do no wrong.
Norris and alpine are in good spots Lewis will have some work to do. Bottas and Danny Ric back in the top 10 too.
Well well done to George Russell. A pity its with Mercedes do. I really hope he does not win tomorrow. He probably will do.
What was up with Red Bull and Max Verstappen?
Overall do a very boring qualifying session except for the last minute at most.
This is an interesting grid, could be a cracker.
It's going to be fascinating and depressing to see how Ferrari will screw up tomorrow.
BBC Radio are using Harry Benjamin and Marc Priestly if you have the means to do a sync up. (Jack Nicholls is busy with Formula E and Jolyon Palmer is with F1 TV)
Did not see that coming for Russel. Will be watching Sky on mute tomorrow
I think Brundle said it best when he said "You don't have to set any quickest sectors, you just have to be quick in all three"
Or something along those lines.
Sainz must've had a yellow in there somewhere.
How do you get pole without any purple sectors?
Hopefully Max doesn't get caught up in any first corner carnage and he should be able to get some decent points, a podium might be a stretch on this track though. If he goes into the summer break still 50+ points ahead that will do. You'd fancy both Ferrari's getting past Russell at some stage. Hopefully Norris can have a decent race too.
On the last lap they did, said he abandoned that lap it as it wouldn't open.
Did they say Hamilton no DRS?
Great quali for Russell, but I don’t see him leading for long, RB’s goal for VER has to be a podium now, and very achievable with the pace they have, never been the quickest this weekend but they’re still quicker than most!
That’s a brilliant grid for tomorrow! Shocker from RB but wouldn’t bet against Max getting a podium as long as his car issues are sorted.
Great lap from Russell but can’t see him winning it, Ferrari should have it sewn up as long as they don’t get in their own way.
On another note it was disappointing from Haas considering the upgrades they brought.
Third row start for the Alpine drivers. I'm happy with that.
Oh stop being so f*cking miserable.
Jesus Christ we cry for some unpredictability every weekend, and when we finally get some there's another way someone can find to bitch and moan about it.
Great lap from Russell. What a mixed up grid for tomorrow. Damage limitation time for Max.
Sky going to be insufferable now
Well George Russell puts in a stonking lap.
RUSSELL!
Spicy lap from Carlos
Unbelievable
Holy crap Russell!!
Fair fcuks to George Russell
rubbing it into Lewis with the time he is clear.
Max saying he has no power. Not great so far for red bull.
Feck sake Red Bull. Sainz playing a blinder.
Max is out, no power and nothing works.
Pretty crap for redbull
Would love to be that kid, always wanted a model like that to play with 😎
these last three and a bit minutes could be tasty.
