Vandoorne and Gutierrez. I’m thinking they are only doing it as it’s the best opportunity they have of seeing what he could be like in the Mercedes as a potential driver for them. (So they are doing everything possible to take it. I’m guessing a pile of cash or other incentive.) You are right though, what is the point of being reserve to then not be used in a reserve situation?!

Interesting to see so many cars not on the Softs in Q1.
Soldato
Very poor qualy from Kimi.
Caporegime
Aitken close to Latifi. Good job. Russell needs to figure out that first sector if he's to challenge Bottas.
Soldato
Love how close that is.
Man of Honour
Albon only 12th, get Perez in that car
Soldato
At 3 mins to go there were zero cars on track, they all decided to go at between 1-2.30mins instead, and risk traffic.
I was thinking that, why not go on a clear track? I know the track “rubbers in” as time goes on but still.
Caporegime
Incredibly close this Quali. A tiny tenth of a second place could be the difference between 2nd and 9th.
Soldato
I think Max will take poll, Bottas 2nd, Russell 3rd or 4th.
Soldato
That's some lap from Leclerc!
Caporegime
Both Mercedes on used softs, not showing their hands yet.
Soldato
Why has Gasly gone out on mediums?
Soldato
That's more like the Mercedes we know 
Soldato
He was so chuffed
Looks like he's going to chill out out. Not getting back in the car. haha.
