Not great for Mick being 20th when your team mate is on pole!

Rain impacted Quali always provides something fun

 

Gives me fond memories of the one lap shootout format when rain at the end of the session ended up with fast cars out of place at the back and then a sublime GP (Aus 2005 in particular comes to mind where Alonso started way back and the Fisi won and Nando fought back to 3rd)

Barrichello taking pole for Jordan at Spa in 1994 sticks out for me

Absolutely delighted for K Mag. Hope he can deliver and give Haas some points. I want them to stay ahead of AT but it'd be great if he could get a haul to give them a chance of getting higher in Abu Dhabi.

I wonder if this has happened before where it's been fair and down to pace, even if there's a little luck with red flag. There's a possibility of first and last when one driver of a fast care had problems, crashed, didn't participate etc. but Kevin and Mick were both fair and square times in equal conditions/chance as the rest of the field.

George you ABSOLUTE beauty!!!

Interesting tactical move by Red Bull to start on the mediums. It was looking like the play of the season until Sainz broke Max's car.

 

Max has kept 2 sets of softs for the race

Pierre Gasly is being called to the stewards for an infringement relating to insufficient speed during reconnaissance laps

Definitely intentional to try and get banned for Abu Dhabi. What they should do is actually not give him any penalty points as that would be a worse punishment!

lots of Ocon-Alonso drama going on :D

Looking dry for today's race.

Alpine confirms a PU change for Ocon after his car fire yesterday (caused by a fuel leak).

 

It's an old PU so will stay P17 for the race today

No way that is a penalty for Max. Not a chance.

Agreed. Everyone here was expecting a penalty for Hamilton

Russell-Hamilton is the first British 1-2 since Hamilton-Button at the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix!

Great for Russell, really happy for him ^_^

It'll be interesting to see the dynamic between Max and Checo now. It doesn't look very good on Max right now but I'll wait to see his reasons before committing to an opinion

I'm not sure we'll get the reasons but let's see. I think it was a bad move on Max's side either way, why risk (further?) damaging the relationship within the team when it wasn't either a podium or an important race result for himself?

Yeah, I can't currently think of a justifiable reason that doesn't involve Checo having shagged Kelly Piquet.

 

 

On a side note Gasly got away with speeding in the pitlane. Pretty sure the FIA think he's doing it on purpose too

Hamilton should have gotten the penalty not Max

the judges have been all over the place this weekend

 

great race for Russell (or Ru-ssÉll, as they call it on French tv, which was the only stream I could find today) and

what a race for Alonso, started 18th I think and finished 5th
