Such a positive qualifying compared to Australia. Finally a better understanding of their package.

Top 6 finish almost in reach if the engine reliability stands. The tyre degradation for TR is one of the lowest. Hartley should start in soft and go for a single stopper.

Honda deserves much respect. Well done! I’m happy for them but feel bad for Nando. What a waste #-o

I think I'm dreaming with this quali! It was unbelievable to reach a P6 at this point! And it have been in a power sensitive track also.. So good for Honda, good for TR and they upgrades working very well, and good for Gasly, I think this guy can bring some surprises this year... Hartley missed on the last corner, but he is good at managing race pace and tires... So lets hope we'll have a little luck tomorrow with the start and good reliability, and a double point finish is possible!! 😁😁

With a clean race and a huge slice of luck, you never know.... Maybe a podium?
Q: (Stefano Mancini – La Stampa) Kimi, will you help Vettel to win his championship this year?

Hopefully Bottas will take out fellow countryman Kimi on first corner then its possible. Top 6 definitely possible.

It can't be the same fu**ing guy again!! :lol: :lol:

Seriously, with a clean start, they have the speed to defend position against tje Renaults (Force India I think don't have the pace...) and only loose position with Hamilton and Verstappen... Secure points with the 2 cars will be outstanding, and a Top6 will be astonishing!! I can't wait for tomorrow race! :D

Power of the Honda PU is not in doubt. It's the fuel consumption and reliability. Lets see what happens tomorrow. Hope gasly doesn't lose any place at the start.

Also any info on the Honda qualy mode? how much HP it delivers?

I can't say much about reliability, but if they and some other sources say that the upgrades worked, I'll believe in it. On the other hand, fuel consumption seems not to be so huge than last year, more on par with the rest... And they seem to care well the tires too, so... Let's see tomorrow what can happen

P6!!!!
P5 after Hamilton's penalty is applied, and now a Honda powered car is best of the rest, the Red Bull junior team at that.
I'm ready for some '08 TR-Vettel moments this year.
