Difference from P1 to P2 is bigger than from P2 to P10. Let that sink in.

So any guesses on who starts on what tire?

I assume everyone will start on mediums.

Don't think anyone will gamble on the softs to snatch a couple spots on the start?

Just seen the Hamilton lap again. He went purple in every sector so there is no way Verstappen was quicker anyway but by god that’s an amazing lap. Bottas must just be sat there wondering ‘How’.

It's good his gf is here because he needs support after analysing telemetry of that lap.

[Phil]

Wouldnt it be safer for Hamilton to start on softs to protect his position at the start? If Verstappen goes for softs and Hamilton mediums, they might lose P1. Sure they can go longer, but if there is another safety car mid race, it will neutralize any benefit of starting on mediums and track position will be key.

So, anyone still think he is considering retiring?

We should all be asking "how?".

Racing point drivers, Kimi and Kvyat will probably start on softs because they did have the pace to qualify further ahead.

Real talent is always king in the rain, magnificent performance by Lewis. Shame Verstappen dropped the car in the last corner, that was a great lap too.

Sainz, fantastic speed in the wet, bet Red Bull is kicking themselves now, if any of their drivers could have matched Max it's him.

And not to forget Russell, he gets a little overlooked compared to Norris and Albon but that speed in the rain was a clear reminder of the driver who thumped both of them in F2.

or, they may all start on wets! Do they still need to use both grade if they do? I did not think so but unsure

I think Lando staying from P9 should and hope for a safety car or two to reset the field

Davidson and Chandhok were just looking at Lewis' last lap, ad Max's lap before he spun. On the Exit of turn 8, Lewis was 6 tenths up.

I was thinking similarly.

Two losers driving for Racing Point. It's so unfortunate for them.
