Did Lewis just totally troll the fans in the post quali interview, calling them (Dutch) great fans and words to that effect.
Kill them with kindness. Well until there's a race win on the table.

Why do I get the feeling the safety cars (note plural!) will be needed most of the time!
This could very well be won on strategy and a fluke win….

Interesting that had Max not set a faster lap both he and Hamilton would have had the same time.
Quali times that close should make for a good race but doubt it with these cars and this track.

Tactics are definitely going to be in play a large part in the race tomorrow. Max, without his wingman, could be vulnerable but I think he is used to that by now. If he is in front on the first lap then he might control the race, that is unless Lewis decides to barge him off the track again, however safety cars may well also dictate the race if they happen.
Hopefully the redbull mechanics can fix his drs under parc ferme so he'll be too quick to catch..

When was the last time we saw a grid line up in qualifying order with no penalties?
I missed what happened to Pérez in Q1. Did he get held up, or was he just not good enough?
Got a feeling this will be decided by the luck of the safety car tomorrow.

Anyone who thinks that redbull isn't the quickest car is stupid.
No penalties for either Haas driver - Stewards decided that Vettel was not unnecessarily impeded by either of them.
Their excuse for that bumhole of a decision, there were other cars ahead of the Haas pair who were also preparing for their fast lap.
Same text for Shumachers visit, but with a different driver name and number.

Red Bull are looking at changing parts (mainly engine) on Perez's car to take the penalty here rather than later in the season.
Wasn't Max's lap without DRS too? I think he had a problem with the hydraulics that activate it.
only the 2nd zone onto finish straight, had it in first zone.

Shocking! I feel like Vettel can’t catch a break at the moment.
That said, giving Masespin a 5 place grid drop is a fruitless exercise
Soldato
Yep no DRS either..
Soldato
But he still had drs on in the other part of the track Vs none by Hamilton
Soldato
That is completely unfathomable. It's hardly Vettel's fault that other drivers couldn't sort themselves out.

Vettel himself said it was inevitable given the number of cars and the narrowness of the track.

A poor decision I'm struggling to get my head around. Has potential for putting your lap in early and creating a rolling road block for your opponents...
I still maintain that Mazapin's late move was in and of itself, dangerous and deserved recognition.
Soldato
That doesn't excuse it.

I was surprised at the stewards' decision but I guess that if you've got the guy who was disadvantaged standing in front of you and shrugging it's hard to go against him and penalise the other people involved.
