Damn, both Mercedes cars only able to do 1:23.8 which is slower than yesterday's time. Qualli is going to be interesting. Mers are on SS while Ferrari are on US

Lance Stroll is looking more and more like a guy who's daddy bought him an F1 seat.

Yeah I saw that now... when Seb posted his lap record, Lewis was doing 1:24.0 on SS. I stepped out and missed him improving on US.
In other news... there's a couple of shower spots 50km west of the track right now... heading east. SHOULD pass the track, but could make Q3 interesting
*UPDATE 1* Clouds are looking angry out west... about 40km out now
*UPDATE 2* It's light showers 10km north of the track and heavier showers 30km west of the track. 40mins to Q1

racechick Qualifying prediction flight check, just preparing for the inter league. I'm going to go with 1.22.227 if it's dry. Who's next? Well before I knew P3 times, I'd made a prediction somewhere on twitter, where you can win prizes! I guessed1.21.355 , but I think it will be higher than that by about a second, more like 1.22.355. If it's dry.

And that's Q1 done and dusted. Would have liked to have seen Giovinazzi make that lap.

Good Morning RC The temperature is much cooler for qualli compared to practice 3. It looks like Rain could hit for final part of qualli. It's raining very close to the track now.

morning. Q1 Times slower than expected Top looks quite close. Nearly a dream start for Giovannazzi. Just a little error. Still impressive Palmer V disappointing, SToll V disappointing ( as expected)

dogued, it just showed on the world feed too there is a shit ton of rain incoming. Q1 Surprises/Thoughts: - Ricciardo spanking Verstappen. - Giovanazzi looks impressive! - I feel sorry for Palmer and Vandorme, car issues ruining their qualifying. - Kvyat really not too far away from Sainz - Hamilton 4 tenths faster than Bottas, Hamilton did an extra lap and still improved.

Hamilton appears to have done a lap on used ultra softs...
EDIT: Yep they just said on Sky that they were used.

I don't get it. What's the advantage of doing that, when he's gotta go again anyway if he wants to start the race on fresher tyres? And with track temperature dropping fast with rain imminent. Wtf?

Post by racechick on Mar 25, 2017 6:34:57 GMT
Dunno, unless they're all going again and he wants to keep the tyres newer? Maybe dogued has been on to Mercedes and told them the rain will miss. The time'll get him through anyway.

Hmm...so if they planned to go on used softs for the race from the start, then it all makes more sense.

Lewis didn't go again... I'm confused.
