    I know alpine will on the team radio be positive but that wasn’t a good first qualifying session.

    Don’t like Ocon at all either. Truly unlikeable that chap.

    Anyway, Piastri struggling a bit compared to his teammate unfortunately.

    Max looks up at the TV screen every time coming down pitlane.

    So much for that new directive to prevent slowdown or stopping in the pit lane…

    Yeah track evolution saved them there.

    Some lap from Hulk.

    Hulkenberg often does well in quali, ill be surprised if he comes away with points tomorrow.

    Similar to last season so with Stroll being well beaten by Alonso.

    Most drivers on the grid would be well beaten by Alonso in the same car.

    Alonso late out, won't get another lap on new tyres will he?

    Some great single lap runs, really interested to see the race pace on the front runners

    Nearly 1/4 of a second between Max on pole and Leclerx in P2, foreboding.


    However 1/4 odd of a second between Leclerc in P2 and Hamilton in P9.


    Didn't see all the laps but noticed Max got 2 good tows there at the start of both laps.

    Not too bad as a Ferrari fan. Max got a bit of a tow there so LeClerc probably a little closer than the finishing time. Unfortunately the RB will likely be far better in race trim than the Ferrari tomorrow. Would be happy enough with a Ferrari 2-3.

    Russell did a decent job, Hamilton a bit off the pace. Fair play to Hulk as well

    Yeah decent lap from Russell. Sergio only 3 tenths off Max’s pace wasn’t too bad, starts 5th I think so he should get a podium.

    Disappointing from both McLarens.

    Very close qualifying session, looks like there's basically nothing between the top 3 teams over one lap with the only difference being how much the drivers extracted out of the car on the lap. McLaren just a tiny amount behind the other top teams and Alonso being Alonso getting in the mix. The entire top 9 are close enough on pace that any of them could be on the podium depending on how tyre wear and strategy goes tomorrow, it should be a great race.
