Ferrari still going strong, but Vettel had some problems.
Mercedes are pathetic with their sandbagging and talking about "car issues" before quallies. It get's old at some point.
how do you know they are sandbagging ? Lets see what happens in qualifying before we start with the pathtic's
Personally I have no problem with any team sandbagging, why show your hand in FP when you dont have to.
Vettel must of had some problem at the end of FP3 his car is in bits.
There must be some doubt he will even make Q1.

Last ever qualifying in Malaysia is about to start.
Tough weekend for Merc, sounds like Hamilton's sticking with the old aero and Bottas is going with the new... Hopefully it isn't the James Allison effect coming into play.
Should be a straightforward pole for Vettel unless they haven't put the new engine in correctly or it rains.

I can't believe people are accusing Mercedes of sandbagging. They are in serious trouble.
WOW engine change for Vettel in under 2 hours
They do have past history , but I agree they looking in trouble for this race, but dont think it is a given for Vettel.
it was said before 40% chance of rain in qualifying.
Vettel limping back to the pits, does not sound good for him, cold just be a reset needed , he just said his turbo has no power.
WOW the possibility that Q1 in Malaysia could be the end of his season has far as the Championship is concerned.
7 mins to get out a post a time in Q1

Great! Seb is done. Start at the bottom, then.
Mate, he is done for me.
They did well to even get him in a running car, an engine change in under 2 hours is no mean feat.
and just to rub it in , Lewis is doing far better than in FP.
I have just given up
Title challenge pretty much done for vettel here if he doesnt get back out
and Seb is out in Q1 , WOW massive blow for him.
If Lewis cam manger to finish even just on the podium , I would say Seb is finished for the season.

A win and you could pretty much give lewis the trophy, theres no way vettel would make up 50ish points in 5 races unless mercedes have a complete meltdown
Never seen such a lucky guy like Hamilton. Seb doesn't deserve it.
Gasly do excellent in his first Q1
Lucky !!!!
Ahh boo hoo
he'd be right in the championship fight if he hadnt taken himself out at singapore, you make your own luckUnless Hamilton ends up with a couple of DNF's this season is over. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
Ok, no luck for him. Don't want to get a ban again.
Lucky?
Did you watch last season? Hamilton had problem after problem whilst Rosberg had no problems at all. Hamilton was winning this race last season and his engine blew which cost him the championship.
Ferrari will get lots of free engine upgrades now for Vettel who was in Danaher of penalties. It is a shame his engine as failed.
C'mon Kimi. Let's get a win at least.

Luck does not come in to it , he still has to win the races, he still has to get pole , even the last race , only his quick thinking and skill stopped him being taken out also, look I do like you has a poster but some of your views are just blinkered.
Still a good season for him compared with the last.
Oh I agree. He is an exceptional driver, between him and Hamilton who is the best imo, but I don't like the man that much and his failings amuse me.
Dont be binning anybody off yet, last race in Singapore showed that.
Seb has got a shit load of rubber he can use, he will make short work of most of the field.

Championship over sadly.
Lewis found some speed in Q3.
Kimi's still got a chance of pole. Shame Red Bull seem to be half a second off, thought they'd be closer.
WOW Kimi blew tat in the last sector , Lewis with his 70th Pole.
We were up for 1st and 2nd
