    What usually happens will happen again tomorrow. Lewis wins.

    The FIA will probably be meeting with Mercedes tonight to plan when they will trigger the safety car for Lewis to pit during.

    Lando was saying that the F1 cars were no quicker on the circuit than the F2 or F3 cars in having their session today.
    "I think it's been fun because it's different, but it's also not fun because sometimes you just can't do much," said the Briton, who will start 16th after the penalty was applied.

    You're not really driving the best car and you're not trying to drive the car necessarily the best way.

    A lot of it's just down to the car itself, so it almost is worse than normal running in some ways.

    There is a challenge, but I think it was not as fun as normal because we're not pushing the limits of a Formula 1 car.

    You feel like you'll almost be able to do the same lap time in a F2 or F3 car, you're going that slowly."

    Delighted for Stroll! Really enjoyed that.

    He gets a lot of shît about Daddy’s money but that was some drive and proves he’s not a bad driver at all.

    Between the fact he’s a paid driver and driving a car that was a copy and not an original design im not too pushed just glad its not Mercs

    Even though he might be ‘proving’ himself at times like this, I find it hard to warm to him overall and really hope and expect Max to pass him early tomorrow and maybe Perez too

    Rain forecast for midday in istanbul, an hour before lights out.

    The tyre compounds aren't great either. Expect everyone in Top 10 at least to start on softest one

    Reckon we will see a few safety cars

    I'm expecting a race win for Max and Lewis ending up on the podium. After how unhappy Max was about not getting pole yesterday he'll drive like a man possessed today

    I don’t think it proves he’s not a bad driver after all. We have loads of evidence of his normal level of performance and I think we can conclude he’s a bang average driver at best. He was very poor when he started out and his money meant he got more chances than any normal driver.

    Yesterday was great but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s not a good driver by any stretch. Terrible attitude and certainly a unique kind of pay driver.

    Grosjean can be fast on one or two occasions in a season and Pastor Maldonado was fast on occasion too. But there comes a point when it counts against them as you ask, “if the can be that fast, why can’t they do it consistently?”. And at that point you evaluate them as bang average drivers who fail to reach their potential.

    Yep, not sure what his incident was because Sky cut away from buildup for a pointless Hamilton nostalgia puff piece. Russell made it back to the pits, Giovinazzi managed to get around to the grid.

    Yeah I definitely wouldn’t rule out a Lewis win here.

    To be fair though this is as open as we could possible want off a race.

    Going to brew me a big pot of coffee and sit down to watch the madness unfold.

    Down to lack of grip I'd imagine, seen Perez going straight on in one of the corners

    I think the fact it isn’t raining now means we’ll get away with a safety car start, but I wouldn’t rule out a lap one SC at all.

    I'd say with the limitations on media that he's the designated reporter this weekend and they're all using the one stream, similar to the podium interviews.

    This might get juicy, Max to lead after turn 1, I can't see Stroll putting it up to him. SC then after some kind of pile up in the mid field.

    Unpredictable is right. But I can be confident in saying Hulkenberg won't be on the podium!!! :p

    In fairness to Stroll, he looks very comfortable with the conditions. 5 seconds clear and only on lap 3
