I fully expect Alonso to finish on P5 tomorrow*

* Barring any kind of race terminating issues

 

[NHale]

So many potential opening spots with Stroll, Palmer, Kvyat underperforming so heavily. Right time to be a young driver with potential.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Come of Seb

 

[Xando]

How did Vettel lose 0.5s on lewis in sector 3

 

[hadareud]

To be fair, he has Fernando Alonso as teammate in his first year in F1.

Yeah, no rookie would have been able to be within a second of Alonso, let alone compete with him or even beat him.

Vandoorne is amazing.

 

[Theorry]

That Qualy boost lol.

 

[NHale]

Q3 engine mode activated.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Raikkonem,Bottas and Vettel contracts end this year,right?

 

[nny]

That is proper fast.

 

[brotkasten]

Mercedes is back.

 

[Blastoise]

quali mode engaged

 

[Razgreez]

That sausage kerb might have saved Valteri's lap

 

[Zaru]

How did Vettel lose 0.5s on lewis in sector 3

He said something about ERS derating on the main straight

 

[Danielsan]

I will say. Red bull did work. They got a lot closer to Ferrari. Here's hoping Renault can give them the must needed engine boost in July, without reliability issues...

 

[Qronicle]

Gaps are still smaller than I expected though

 

[Aiii]

If only Renault wasn't so shit, RBR would have probably been ahead of the reds now.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Let's go Alonso. Make McLaren Honda great again.

 

[dakun]

Yeah, no rookie would have been able to be within a second of Alonso, let alone compete with him or even beat him.

Vandoorne is amazing.

I know of one rookie that gave alonso a run for his money ;-)

Just kidding i know Hamilton is an exceptional talent. But still i think 1 second is too much even if you are a rookie if the cars are the same (which I'm not sure is the case at Mclaren).

 

[Shaneus]

Just watching the live timing, and wtf RBR :/

 

[sems4arsenal]

Holy Shit

 

[chadskin]

Seb bottled it.

 

[Xando]

Damn Vettel

 

[Grug]

Good enough job Seb.

We have a race.

 

[Danielsan]

So close...

 

[Lach]

Dammit kimi!

 

[Ty4on]

FUCK

So close D:

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Alonso in 7th. Superb performance.

We don't need to have the race anymore.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

God damn it so close, Seb with that lockup

 

[Randdalf]

Alonso is incredible

 

[Staab]

Frack me !

So goddamn close :O

Race should be fun tomorrow

 

[Tempy]

P7 for Alonso whoa

 

[dakun]

All of them lost a lot on the last sector.

 

[Zaru]

See, Ferrari and Mercedes are still close as fuck.
The start tomorrow is gonna be REALLY important.

 

[NHale]

Alonso 7th? WTF?!?!

 

[Qronicle]

Wait guys, the Ferrari might actually be good this year

 

[Xando]

Much closer than i thought

 

[JDB]

VER only 0.5 off pace, not bad. Not sure what happened to RIC.
Also, ALO 7th

 

[Zeknurn]

Fucking hell brotkasten. 0,051.

 

[jey_16]

Fuck...i thought Seb had it there. Impressive from Ferrari considering all the Merc updates

 

[Ty4on]

After these last seasons it's amazing to have four drivers competing for P1

 

[Shaneus]

A McLaren qualified one spot below an RBR.

RB14 my arse.

 

[Blastoise]

gonna be a good race

 

[Lach]

Kimi was quickest after S2. He should have taken this!

 

[Theorry]

Damn Ves 0.500 over RIC.

 

[Fox Mulder]

So many potential opening spots with Stroll, Palmer, Kvyat underperforming so heavily. Right time to be a young driver with potential.

Stroll has daddy money.

 

[nny]

I was focusing on the top guys and missed Alonso landing P7...impressive. It's such a waste to have him on this car.

 

[Aiii]

Just watching the live timing, and wtf RBR :/

They closed the gap with .6~.8s on aero alone, jokes about RB14 aside, that is quite a leap.

 

[Theorry]

A McLaren qualified one spot below an RBR.

RB14 my arse.

Yeah but 1.3 seconds slower tho haha.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

The problem now is that Honda will think that the engine is fixed and no development or updates are required.

Waiting for WaX commentaries.

 

[Ty4on]

All of them lost a lot on the last sector.

Hitting that second to last corner well is so important. Could hear Vettel losing a bit of traction on the way out.
