    I've been guilty of criticising Stroll's qualifying in particular, fair play to him. Nailed it today

    And that would be generally pretty fair criticism. But today was exceptional. It’s against form but I’m happy for him.

    Yeah Stroll's qualifying is usually awful but his race performances are much better on average.

    Now do we want a dry or wet race tomorrow? :D

    Wet as an otter’s pocket.

    Last time I used that phrase, it wasn’t describing a race track.

    Fair play to Stroll. Usually he's a waste of a seat but he has the odd good performance in him too.

    Is there anything to be said for resurfacing all tracks a month before the race? :p

    Could be about 8 penalties handed out if double waved yellows were ignored as about half the field was in middle sector

    ... should have been better. Raikkonen went off track on his final flyer. Giovinazzi didn't run at all in Q3 for some reason.

    I didn’t see any of qualifying, Is he likely to lose pole position?

    Just to note folks, race starts at 10:10am tomorrow. I only copped it earlier. I would have missed it otherwise!

    The Team Radio on his Pole lap tells him Yellow Flags , and then clarifies as "Single yellow , Keep pushing" .

    https://streamable.com/8oid2m

    I don't think its the pole Yellow flag he is been investigated for I think it Q1 , where Kevin Mag had pointed out everyone ahead of him improved times , while passing Double yellows


    NO further action

    That was a brilliant qualy session for Lance Stroll. His reaction to him claiming the pole was fantastic.

    I was thinking that while watching the highlights on Channel 4 earlier this afternoon that this session was going to be anyone's game because of the wet conditions being forecast for the whole weekend. It really is incredible to see Racing Point get a pole position in Istanbul. I would never expected it otherwise. The race tomorrow will be very interesting for any F1 fan who were glued into today's qualy from start to finish. It's could give them some exciting twists in seeing how their favourite drivers get on while they are out in the wet. Could you imagine the reaction if Hamilton actually won the race tomorrow in those conditions. Do you think that he & Bottas will be able to take the podiums again after their disappointing grid performance today.

    In other news; George Russell of Williams has been put into last place of the grid for the race tomorrow because of an engine penalty with his car.

    Also; there's some sad news to report that Ben Edwards from Channel 4 is to leave his role as their F1 commentator from the end of the 2020 calendar.

    Well that was one crazy qualifying session. I hope the race tomorrow is just as crazy and that Lewis if he finishes does not make the podium. In fact I want to see Perez win, Albon 2nd and Kimi in 3rd. That would be awesome put probably highly unlikely. I just want to see 3 new faces on the podiums tomorrow no Hamilton, no Bottas and no Verstappen would be great.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    To be fair I think Verstappen has punched well above his weight in the Red Bull all year. He showed his talent today in the horrendous track conditions. Stroll deserved the pole he kept it together when it mattered.

    Oh he has I agree and if he wins the race or gets a podium tomorrow I will be delighted for him but 3 fresh faces on it would be nice too. Imagine George Russel got up there in the William's. That would be great to see highly unlikely do.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    What usually happens will happen again tomorrow. Lewis wins.
