And if you noticed Lando lost a tenth at the last turn as he had a slip up there.

Lando made a bad first run in Q3, he was on new tires and did the same time as Oscar on old tires. Knew we had more but thought P3 or so.

Then on second run Norris nailed it and Oscar had a bad lap.

Great job Norris! Good way to end qualy.

I said it many times that once Lando gets his first title, he's gonna be in another league.

The question is how did he do it? According to the haters he was supposed to be a mediocre champion who was not worthy. In all seriousness now I hope Lando keeps rubbing his value as a champion to their faces.

Magic Last Lap Lando. I've seen his lap. Antonelli had 28.315 in S1, 32.999 in S2, 30.521 in S3. Norris had 28.226 in S1, 32,797 in S2 and 30.801 in S3 (from that slip) so what Stella said is true.
