Kimi absolutely choked, that was easily P1. A gift for Merc.

Damnit Kimi 
Was hoping he'd be on pole with the different tyres to mix things up, don't think it's going to work at all with him starting 6th. Should be an interesting race though, the top few cars look pretty evenly matched and a huge long straight for overtaking.

Well not a bad result for Hamilton, but it's just not happening for him really. Week after week, he's either not getting P1 or not winning races or both together. Ferrari have really got their **** together this season. I wonder if and when we'll see Lewis turning the tables on them.

Ferrari have the fastest car. You can see it with Hamilton, he isn’t bothered, he knows he has done everything he can.

Kimi's been far faster than Vettel this year, if he was more consistent he'd easily be leading this title race and the teams #1

Lol, Steve Jones says "let's hear from Kimi. I'm sure he has a LOT to say about what happened". Cuts to Kimi who says practically nothing and gets a swear word muted.

But he hasn't. Bottas has comprehensively out-performed him in the previous two races, out-qualifying him both times (even before Hamilton's gearbox penalty in Bahrain), finishing ahead of him in both races and out-racing him in Shanghai. You know, "useless" Bottas according to this forum.
Hamilton isn't quite in one of his strops, but he's certainly not out-performing the car either.
Scuderia Ferrari have the best car. Yes.
It's a pity how Kimi lost a golden chance for the pole position tomorrow. He has first and second sectors best time.
If Seb keeps strong in his mental reactions this year, he will be the new Champion.
If Kimi improves, it might be a Constructors Championship for Scuderia Ferrari too.

Sorry, who is ahead in the championship out of those two?

Weird start to the season it seems merc are having bad luck, Lewis has not bought his A game. Or perhaps because Lewis is not winning / netting poles we think that.
Ferrari have the best car and Rai is the fastest Ferrari driver so far just again luck that has not gone his way and a little mistake today

I was just demonstrating how Hamilton hasn't got everything out of the car in at least two of the three races this year, as you were suggesting.
I’d say 2009 or 2011. Maybe even 2013 as well.

Let's hope Kimi pitting early and setting some fast times shakes up the race a little.
Soldato
Don't be daft
When was the last time Ferrari pitted Kimi early? If they had their way they would probably leave him out for 0 stop race. How many times is he on the radio telling them the tyres are done, but still nothing happens.
