Oh the purple sector thing isn't working. Russel almost 9 tenths off and it lights up purple.

Wow!!!
Consequent of Mercedes to sandbag through qualifying and keep everyone guessing for the race
The whole timing systems hasn't been working for all of qualy, new timing screens aren't that much better tbh.

Big lap from Charles there
Ferrari!!!! Let’s go!!!
Going to be an epic season this.
Get in Leclerc! So close to a 1-2 as well.
Yes well done Ferrari! Hope they don't mess up the race.
Nice to see Haas do well and Alfa Romeo

Leclerc vs Max is full spice.
Wtf happened to Russell’s lap?
What did Brundle say about someone's DRS not activating? Who was it?
Nice pole for LeClerc , beating Max by a slim margin.
Good to see Ferrari with a car that is capable of challenging .
Mercedes as expected not even close to pole

Hopefully this a sign of things to come this season. Could be epic!
Is one of my teams actually good 
We're going to have a really competitive season this time
Well, we are winning the titles this year
Leclerc and Max will crash on turn 1 tomorrow
Let's fecking go Leclerc!!!
It'll be a repeat of the Sakhir GP 2020
Can't wait for the race tomorrow
Looks like Ferrari and Red Bull are just about equal. Good stuff.
Ferrari have finally sorted their shit out, Charles has got in him to take this fight to RBR.
Should be a good race!
Think we can end the Mercedes sandbagging talk now, they have a poor car with big problems.
Hopefully Leclerc and Sainz sandwich Max tomorrow and remove him from the race.
Sainz is really underrated. Leclerc is a generational talent, and Sainz is right there. He was competitive with max at torro Rosso too.
Bit harsh to call it poor, I mean it's 3rd best today but has huge potential.
What we need is Mercedes to pull closer soon as possible and it's 5 cars (and Perez) for pole battles.
"Very....very..." 
Coulthard such a shit-stitter."Very....very..."
It’s the 3rd fastest only 0.6 seconds off and they’ve been saying for 2 weeks they have lots more pace to find but it could take a bit of time. I wouldn’t write them off at all. If we can get a 3 team race this season it will be brilliant.
Looks like quite a few drivers 5+ were faster in Q2 than Q3.
Everything is relative. It's a poor car compared to the front runners.
