Sad thing is, if this was any other racing series, we’d be talking about Stroll looking the strongest for a pole tomorrow.

Instead we all sit here knowing that Mercedes will just “magically” find 2 seconds of pace in quali. Shame really, but you can’t fault the team for getting it right.

Yeah it's a shame the temperatures are going to be cooler tomorrow as it still looks like the Merc is struggling in the intense heat.
 
It's not going to change much in the grand scheme of things, but Kvyat has a 5 place grid penalty for a gearbox change. Potentially good news for Russell and the Haas/Alfas for tomorrow.
 
Well so far not really had any representative laps with the track temp yesterday being 49c, im curious were the pace truly is now that temps are lower and the aero / tyres are more optimal. Im expecting some obscenely fast laps in q3 today... I think next week might be the better weekend as its forecast to be hot which could shake things up if the mercs are not enjoying the heat...

FP3 and Vettel's car again - like it seems - pedal issue. Not his weekend (yet?)
Albon finally also on track after some electrical challenges of his RB16.
 
Russell, through Q1 again punching above his weight again (hope the stewards dont do him for not slowing under latifi's yellow), Gasly doing well too
 
Russell indeed WOW*! Gasly and Ocon performed also very good in Q1.
Ok Hulk has a fast car but he still has to do it without consistent training etc. 👍

* apperently under investigation. Did he lift throttle under yellow because his team mate went off track?

didnt look like he lifted but latifi had rejoined the track... wont know what the stewards will do until after the session they really are sluggish...
 
Session red flagged after Lewis got an unwanted phone call from Binotto at the exit of Luffield.
 
With the gravel there and everyone one spinning the corner we're going to be getting a heavily interrupted race.
 
Absolutely :censored:ing ridiculous, cannot wait for the Mercedes dynasty to eventually end cause good lord.
 
This season is a ****ing write-off. I hate the FIA. Way to do nothing to close the field for the last 6 years.

And new regs are pushed back to 2022. So next year will be the Mercedes show as well. F1 is a ****ing snooze fest.

Only thing worth watching for is the midfield battles.
