Cue Kimi sacrificing his race to be roadblock behind Sebastien...
looking at the Q times it looks more like Lewis will be a vibrating roadblock. Does he have any tyre sets not vibrating?

I didn't hear he complaining of 2nd set he used in Q2, the one he will start with tomorrow.

This season really reminds me of 2007-2008 seasons! One race one team is sweeping everything, next race the other team does the same! Can't really understand what's going wrong for Mercedes and specially for Hamilton this season! One race they are on a different level, almost 1 sec in front and the next race they are behind! I thought after Baku they will continue like that, being out front by relatively big margins...but it seems Ferrari have caught up! On the race front i expect a Vettel grand slam!

Looks like Vettel took setup tips from Senna's 1991 effort, Senna always considered a car set up to be fast in the final sector will be the fastest over the complete lap.
Sector 3 starts right before turn 12?

I know it's not F1 but does anyone know why Sean Geleal were starting behind Leclerc, even though Leclerc was disqualified from qualifying?

Told you Ferrari would be quick.

So:
- Mercedes didn't dominate
- Red Bull didn't beat Ferrari
- Ferrari were not outdeveloped.
- It wasn't Hamilton's track.
:roll:
I think that pretty much sums it up!

No, 128M after exit of turn 11

Then it makes sense, Turn 12 pushes the stability under braking, and turns 13 & 14 are long mid speed corners that test the grip of the chassis on entry mid and exit.

It's still Hamilton's track the car was a bit off in Q3 that's all. I saw some mechanics examining the front right wheel hub after Q2. It is a long run to turn one...

Let's face it guys, Ferrari owns aero tracks, they got an awesome chassis. It's good to see Ferrari managed to make the most out of it here where they really need it. Hope for a Ferrari 1-2 tomorrow.

I bet he has the ones that doesn't blow off. :lol:

I am fully expecting Bottas to jump Vettel at the start, just like he did in Russia.

It's possible. That's why Kimi should protect Seb.
