    This will get a interesting qualifying as no one seems to have played all cards yet.

    I am not sure I learned anything really from that , Redbull still looks good , Alpha Tauri looks good too.

    Ferrari Ran mediums most of the time , I was kinda worried about Aston but then noticed Vettel was double lapping at the end so more fuel.

    I do think the Q1 and Q2 times for getting knocked out are going to be tight .

    It obviously wont happen, but it we did go from easy Hamilton wins to easy Verstappen wins, it would be a novelty for a bit but would also get boring fast

    I hope there's nothing more than a ball hair between Hamilton and Verstappen.

    Drive To Survive has introduced suedes of new/returning fans to the sport. Give them something to keep around.

    I love Brundle but I hate when he says the Merc is bad in traffic. It's not, Bottas is bad in traffic. Hamilton has had no issue and Russell jumped into an unfamiliar car and was able to make it work in traffic just fine.

    Why do all the drivers and team staff continue to wear masks that don't cover your nose properly and always slip down when doing interviews?

    I usually see that with the branded ones and you have to blame the cheap manufacturing, but the Sky guys with the plain black ones have no real excuse it's not that hard to get a proper one

    One big part of the game that doesnt come into play in qualifying is race strategies. Another area that Merc seem to have been dominant in previous seasons. In saying that, that could have been influenced by performance advantage they had over the field as well, then there is the bad luck of other teams.

    Alonso seems to have a good dual layer one. Top layer stays over the nose while the bottom layer moves with the chin.

    Well lads here we go. Nice to be back.

    Lando is the one to watch today. I can see him finishing ahead of Bottas.

    It’s good to be back to what was a normal calendar. I didn’t watch last season as much as I had for years. I watched some races which I feel weird but the season was weird and was kind of all out of sync.

    I can’t believe that ‘Nikita Maze-spin’ quip from Croft made me laugh.

    Did Vettel get caught in the yellow flag? Looks like the Aston Martin has gone backwards this year.

    Mazepin struggling in the Haaski, which is remarkably worse than last year's.

    Vettel out in Q1, that's a shocker

    I think so because he said on the radio that it was unfortunate to get that yellow when he did.

    They are going to investigate lap times set under the yellow flag. Might be a few grid penalties tomorrow.

    I’ve ranted about Mazepin enough but my god.

    Two spins in Q1 and ruined the end of that session. Going to be tough now investigating all those times!

    Apparently Vettel got unlucky with two yellow flags causing him to lift according to Otmar.

    Frustrating stuff.

    There was a brief yellow in Sector 2 aswell, which Vettel was caught in.

    Big mistake running the mediums there. Things are too tight in the top 10 for that over confidence.

    Think we still need to wait for Q3 to see the "real" performances. If it's similar to q2 for the rest of the reason should be good. Cars are much closer together

    This Q3 is going to be epic. By the way Sky doing ads for qualifying is a new low from them.

    The driver graphic on the left doesn’t show what compound each driver is using anymore, very frustrating.

    What compound were those Merc times set on in Q2?

    The only medium runners are the Mercs, Verstappen and Gasly.
