1:02.939...

Holy......

Bottas always seems to start the season strong.

 

[Kenai]

Interesting Hamilton supposedly set up for more straight line speed, not giving enough advantage on the straights to overcome Bottas better speeds in the turns

 

[Merlin5]

Bottas is really on it today.

 

[Flibster]

Norris told over radio:

Urgent: Default 1 7. Default 1 7

 

[Flibster]

Bottas - 1:02.939
Leclerc - 1:04.539 - +1.600s

 

[Kenai]

The only way Ferrari are fixing this sort of performance defecit with an update is if that update brings back a suspect engine

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Well that makes the race a little more interesting.

 

[Mr Jack]

Bottas off but keeps pole!

 

[mmj_uk]

Shame would have liked to have seen Bottas improve on his time. Norris with a good time.

 

[chrismscotland]

Ferrari look awful, nice to see McLaren in 4th

 

[Kenai]

Great lap from Norris, didn't expect McLaren to be anywhere

Amazing that nobody can ever stop Hamilton but when I bet on him to get pole..

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Love seeing Ferrari struggle after cheating for so long last season. Got away with no punishment then, now it would seem they’re punishing themselves, excellent!

Quite.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Be interesting to see Hamiltons onboard to see if he lifted at all when Bottas went off. Might have been the difference.

 

[Flibster]

Surprises?

Mercedes being 0.5 up on a short track.
Ferrari being THAT slow.
Norris up in P4.
Williams closing up significantly.

I’d still bet on him beating Bottas tomorrow. He looks like he has a straight line advantage so if he can drop Bottas to T1 then he should be able to pull away and keep him behind in the corners.

Chuffed for Mclaren. Norris for a podium would be a cheeky punt

If not on track he’ll do it during the pits. Bottas never has race pace.

Tomorrow's podium
Hamilton
Bottas
Verstappen
