Major kudos to Wehrlein. 1 sec behind Nico.

 

[DrM]

Some isolated showers are appearing near the circut, due to larger storm cells that are forming 20 km to the north

 

[djplaeskool]

Rain incoming.

 

[Zeknurn]

If Vettel does a Ricciardo and starts on the super softs, he could be in a very good position.

 

[Antagon]

So, VES and RIC is going to start at supersofts as well.

Vettel got a +5 grid penalty for a gearbox change, though. Rosberg too.

 

[Zaru]

That rain came just in time to take the supersoft start from Mercedes.

 

[dakun]

Happy for Wehrlein and Manor. Amazing Lap. I wonder if he'd benefit from wet weather.

 

[Antagon]

Nice job of Button as well. Hope he can do something great in these conditions

 

[Zeknurn]

Vettel has got pace and the Mercedes will eat up the ultra softs. There will be a few Red Bulls in between of him and Hamilton but that won't be a problem.

#BELIEVE

 

[DrM]

It will be 8 degrees or more cooler tomorrow, with possible showers

 

[Zeknurn]

Yeah, it's too bad Sainz didn't make it because he could have put it top 4 in these conditions.

[Blastoise]

Hulk and Button! Good shit lads.

 

[Zeknurn]

All that excitement and in the end the result is the same. Too bad. Lets hope the Mercedes destroys the ultra softs tomorrow.

 

[Ruruja]

All that excitement and in the end the result is the same. Too bad.

How is it the same, Hulk and Button are in the top 3.

 

[Lach]

All that excitement and in the end the result is the same. Too bad.

Yeah. Our comentater noted that people who don't watch live will see the result and say "How boring"......

 

[DrM]

Alonso is demolishing his motor home right now

 

[Norwegian Rudo]

All that excitement and in the end the result is the same. Too bad. Lets hope the Mercedes destroys the ultra softs tomorrow.

Mercs are gentle on the tires so long as they are out front. In the pack not so much.

It's going to suck to be Nico, in the middle and on the wrong tires.

As his crash was in Practice 3, at which point they already knew they were going to change the gearbox and incur the penalty they will have had the time to decide to set the car up for racing instead of cruising.

Being on different tyres could also help him get into clear air faster via alternate strategy as the ultrasofts everyone will start from will die quicker. Especially with quali laps on them.

Mercedes and their starts this year though.........I can see at a minimum Lewis losing two places into turn one.

Vettel: "I underperformed, I should've taken more risks".

 

[DD]

Sauber's future now 'brighter'

Well done, Sauber!

 

[Zaru]

When was the last time we've had 6 different teams in the top 6?

 

[Zeknurn]

Mercs are gentle on the tires so long as they are out front. In the pack not so much.

Both Mercs and especially Hamilton were destroying the ultra softs in FP3. We will have to wait and see if the setup changes has mitigated the problem and if the cooler conditions tomorrow helps them.

Vettel: "I underperformed, I should've taken more risks".

That smirk when he mentioned he was starting on the super softs though.

 

[Tempy]

What's the rain situation for tomorrow?

 

[thenexus6]

Man of all the qualifyings I couldve missed it had to be this one! I hope I am home in time for the race tomorrow!

 

[brotkasten]

Sounds like I missed a good qualifying.

What the hell is button doing so far up the grid? Was McLaren able to tame the 1200 bhp beast?

 

[Mastah]

Drying track in Q3, so it was all about driver confidence and we all know Jense is pretty good in such conditions.

 

[Orbis]

Sounds like I missed a good qualifying.

What the hell is button doing so far up the grid? Was McLaren able to tame the 1200 bhp beast?

Button's engine will explode 3 laps in.
