He's absurd, he really is.Never doubt Lewis!
That's a bit depressing. 7 tenths up on Ferrari. Not a very exciting start to the season
Perhaps not up front but there's only 1 second between 7th and 18th.
We could be in for a 2016-esque season. It could be depressing
So for us Ferrari fans, LeClerc is our only hope? I missed q3 but he was faster than Vettel for q1 and q2
Hamilton, just have to shake your head at this guy.
I enjoyed 2016 because of the battle between the the mercs. Bottas isn't up to thatWe could be in for a 2016-esque season. It could be depressing
Hamilton on pole again
The race is going to be very interesting.

Mercedes were 0.7 up on last year’s qualification lap, and the Ferrari’s ended up the fast car during the early races.
Just watching qualifying now.
The Mercs look fast.

Anticlimatic really. The only upsides I can see are that Max makes it appear that the Bulls aren't all that slow and may be able to sneak a few podiums. If Merc is this far ahead of the pack at this stage, the season could really be one long procession. Not the best sign for the sport, given the increasingly-rapidly falling numbers.

Another boring season is in store.
Is anyone else tired of how the Mercs always hype up the other teams only to smash them?
Never make predictions based on free practice.
Looked so today, but we don't have to put too much pressure on him.
A bit, but what can we do? Don't want to lose my shit again.
Same old same old. Ferrari looks like the team to beat during testing and then Mercedes just smashes everyone.
HA HA Have to laugh first qualifying of the season and already the Merc haters are out.
So what if they hype up other team.
I have said before , why should teams , show all they have before they have too , Merc did just what I expected them to do in Q3.
SAF was a past master of mind games , Lewis and Merc are doing no different.
I am shocked that the Ferrari is that far behind, 0.7 secs behind is a massive gap.
You would hope that Seb and LeClerc who impressed me in qualifying, have something extra for the race.

6th pole on the bounce at Albert Part and with the all time track record, you cant argue with that.
great, another pointless season
Leclerc taking all the blame. I feel sorry for tim because i think he expected a lot more from Ferrari. Just hope he doesn't let himself down too soon.
Ferrari will be closer, they were 0.6s behind last season at this track and then were quicker until the Spanish GP.
Damn, Norris is fast. Is he gonna be the "LeClerc" of this year?
People have very short memories. Ferrari for first half had definitely better race pace last year and it did switch to the Mercs towards the end. The majority of last season it was very close. Even then track times were pretty close it was Lewis who was on another level.
Keeping in mind the fact that Albert Park is a very specific track, that's mightily impressive by the Mercs.
Similar gap to Ferrari last season though in quali, and then Ferrari were the faster car for the next 4 races until Spain. I certainly hope this is not representative of what's to come.
Ferrari and Red Bull close though, which is nice.

Dear me, until the next round of upgrades come, it looks like season over already.
Another pole for Hammy, sigh..... Jesus Vettel, shave that thing off.
Merc have shown they can maintain their dominance on their preferred track type. As you point out, let's see if Ferrari can in the next few races. If not, Hamilton will walk this.
Not really, the track was improving extremely quickly, and he didn't do a good lap at the begining of Q1 (Both Vettel and him were on the medium). Ferrari didn't want th risk it so Charles had to go again and this time with the softs (rightly so since he was out of Q1 just before he finished his lap).
Who are you and what have you done to Santi?
seriously this is like the most lamest one sided rivalry in f1 history. just give Mercedes the titles already. another year of domination coming.
It's one qualifying session, let's calm down a bit. Obviosuly I would have liked Ferrari to be a lot closer to Merc but as others have said the situation was pretty much exactly the same last year and Ferrari still had the upper hand for the first half of the season.
What’s the story with no Ted Kravitz at the race
Tuned in just in time. Cmon Ferrari! Lets challenge the Mercs at least.
There were rumours a few weeks ago that he had a fight with his new bosses at Sky.

Renault being Renault....
Sainz took his time getting out of the car there.
Hamilton's got no answer to Bottas, managed to lose four seconds to him since pitting. Could be jumped by Verstappen at this rate.
