At least Lando it's okay, but that's so bad man. We were in for a good one here. Now it's going to be P15 at best after penalties :/

Unluckily this means starting last, probably a new engine and engine penalties… How painful

That is so unfair. We beat everyone on merit today and especially the reds but yet Lady Luck is hitting us again. Bravo to the FIA for screwing this up. Costed us a lot of points.

That’s a pity that we are a one man team. :(

So any predictions of where the team can finish today's qualifying?
I feel a yellow may come out because someone will overdo it and someone will be out of place because they won't be able to do a lap.
Red, in fact :cry:

Yeah man infuriating. On a Ferrari off day, Lando is absolutely flying, on for pole and then this happens. Let's just hope Daniel can pull something here, but he was 2 seconds off Lando so not expecting any miracles.

Why would you blame FIA? Because they didn’t red flag it? Lando did a lap and decided to go for it… This has nothing to do with FIA.

It is unlucky though

This could have been avoided had they been hearing the drivers and now they costed us points for their decision.

We cant blame him for trying. He saw an oportunity which he might not get again...sadly it didnt pay off. Hopefully he manages to get himself into points tomorrow.
If i would get the money to start my own F1 team, i would revive Arrows

To be honest. If it is a wet start tomorrow, I would take the pitlane start instead of P15.

First thing I thought when I saw those conditions was, it's a hell of a risk to go out first.

just one of those things. A real shame as really thought he had a shot at pole - so did he probably, which is why he went for it.

It would be better if Ric’s car had Norris’s second car. :D Ricciardo is absolutely not a factor.

Well. If Lando is as fast compared to the rest as he was today then I expect him to pick up everyone one by one quickly.
