Phew. For a second there I thought Ferrari had mucked it up again. Will be an interesting race tomorrow especially with Verstappen coming from the back.

Let’s hope Ferrari do a faultless race. If they do, I think a 1-2 is possible. It’s super quick on the straight.
 
Bit annoying for Lewis. Considering he is losing half a second on the straight he produced a fantastic time.
 
Fantastic lap from Vettel. Completely dominated Leclerc also. Hopefully he gets the job done tomorrow.
Incredible effort from Ricciardo as well. Would be nice to see him on the podium.
 
What’s happened with Kubica makes me sad. I thought he had similar potential to Hamilton, to see him struggle now is like watching Rooneys last few years with us
Indeed. Such a shame for that rally crash. He was probably the best driver in 2010 with that Renault. And apparently was in line for the Ferrari seat in 2012.

To be fair, he's up against a very tough teammate. I think that George Russell is a seriously talented driver. He dominated F2 at the age of 20 in his rookie season.

I think he's better than either Bottas or Ocon. I want to see him in Mercedes next year.
 
In race trim I suspect the impact could be less... With a good start I could see him running away with it still
Lewis has been on another level this season all I hope for is a good race. Hope Ferrari could win for once.

The Merc was consistently faster over the first two sections though, which was probably equally as frustrating for Ferrari. What gave Vettel the pole was the fact that he was able to match Hamilton (>0.1sec) up until the last section and then he got the margin he needed on the final stretch (0.3sec).
 
5 mins to start time
 
How is Bottas 7th. Hadn't realised until now
 
Be interesting to see how hard Hamilton fights Leclerc if they get close on track. Have a feeling he'll be happy enough with 3rd in front of Bottas.
 
Hamilton is through if Vettel doesn't step across him and force Hamilton to brake. Don't understand why that shouldn't be penalised.
 
Racing incident. He’s lucky Hamilton was so close and it was that corner, anywhere else he was toast.
