So much for GAFs prediction of Kimi shaming Alonso this season

Spoiler

jk, too early to tell

Did RBR swap their drivers' cars? Seems like Vettel got the "unlucky" car while Disco Dan is doing fine at the Top 5

 

[Zeknurn]

It' going to make for an interesting race with Vettel out of place.

Di Mozzarella should tell Ferrari to not give Kimi the number 2 car.

 

[Shaneus]

Somewhere in the world, Mark Webber let out a chuckle.

He's in Melbourne!

 

[Hammer24]

I'm saying his drink came out of his nose.

Not just his, still wiping coffee of the Laptop...

 

[TCRS]

sunhigifs are making this thread so much better than last year. welcome back buddy!

 

[jey_16]

I don't understand how Kimi can be so shit compared to Alonso

 

[Adamm]

It' going to make for an interesting race with Vettel out of place.

Is he really that out of place? He hasn't been fast all weekend.

MERCEDES AMG F1 ✔ @MercedesAMGF1

Even though they're cheering for @danielricciardo, great to hear the roar and passion of the local crowd! Awesome atmosphere @ausgrandprix

 

[DBT85]

Shame we aren't going to see a proper dry shootout.

 

[Zeknurn]

Is he really that out of place? He hasn't been fast all weekend.

He had superior cornering speed in FP2 which made people call the season over.

Magnussen is mighty impressive. McLaren did good to sack Pérez.

Ehh, I don't know about that. He was there or thereabout in P1 and P2.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Fucking Raikkonen. Do one you total shit.

The Jense will fight his way to a podium finish tomorrow.

 

[DBT85]

Fucking Raikkonen. Do one you total shit.

Odd. I like Raikkonen even more now.

Ehh, I don't know about that. He was there or thereabout in Q1 and Q2.

Maybe I worded that badly

I mean compared to other seasons when he would have been clearly faster. I just think he might struggle to move up the field tomorrow

 

[Hammer24]

STR pace is surprising

 

[Psychotext]

STR pace is surprising

I think the Renault engine seems to work relatively well in the wet. Might be something to do with power delivery.

 

[DBT85]

Yeah STR doing well.

Don't THINK RIC will manage on the inters.

Imaging 2015. Wet track, turbo, no tyre blankets!


Love how much the cars are squirming.

 

[Zeknurn]

I think the Renault engine seems to work relatively well in the wet. Might be something to do with power delivery.

This would be my guess too. Watch Toro Rosso drop back if the race is dry.

 

[Psychotext]

Looks like inters were the wrong call.

 

[nny]

Good save, Massa.

 

[TCRS]

nice shot. you could see how wobbly the williams was under acceleration.

 

[Hammer24]

YEEEEEEEES!!!!

 

[DBT85]

Will Hamilton use that last lap!

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Psychotext]

GO GO GO!!!

Noooo. :*(

 

[CurlySaysX]

Ohhh fucggg!!
Ric 2nd.Ham #1

 

[criesofthepast]

Wow Ricciardo was mental all qualifying.

Oh Hamilton steals it at the end there!

 

[AcridMeat]

OH SHIT RICCIARDO YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OOH FUCK H AMILTONNN

that was a fantastic qualifying

 

[TCRS]

hamilton did it.

 

[theignoramus]

LEWIS!

 

[Mobius 1]

Holy shit, Ricciardo delivering the goods on day one.

 

[Hammer24]

MERC pole!

 

[NihonTiger90]

Well, that was fun! Let's hope the race is as exciting (and the season, too!)

 

[DBT85]

Well done RIC but WOOOOOOOOO HAMILTON MOTHER FUCKERS!



Amazing from both.

 

[bobnowhere]

He didn't quite make pole, but Dan Ricciardo is the real fuckin' deal!

 

[RdN]

Showing that Red Bull isn't dead as many are claiming.

 

[Deadman]

Williams are terrible in the wet

 

[nny]

Lewis! Ricky between the Mercedes, good job.

 

[Hammer24]

Dr Marko: engine mapping problem stopped VET

 

[navanman]

Very very good qualy.
Should be a great race tomorrow

 

[Timbuktu]

Showing that Red Bull isn't dead as many are claiming.

Told you they were sandbagging.

Good to see the new guard coming in.

 

[Tempy]

I like that you can hear the crowd now.

 

[Zeknurn]

Showing that Red Bull isn't dead as many are claiming.

Lets see a race in the dry before judging actual performance.


Well done Riccardo and Magnussen.

 

[theignoramus]

Holy crap Ricciardo, split the Mercs and just plain outdrove Seb.
Dissapointed in Kimi, what the hell is going on with the Iceman

 

[John_B]

Hamilton! I almost wished Ricciardo that pole. Great showing by him.

Magnussen 4th with Button 11th is incredible for him.

Very exciting qualification. Watch Hamilton DNF because of faulty gearbox tomorrow.

 

[Psychotext]

Told you they were sandbagging.

In the dry I doubt they'd have been in the top 6.

 

[Pimpwerx]

WOOT! Both Mercs on the clean line. My boy on the top spot. Great qualies by Ricciardo. That doesn't necessarily bode well for the rest of the season if RBR are this close, but rain also equalizes times. Looking forward to tomorrow's race. PEACE.

 

[Mobius 1]

Disappointed by Williams' wet performance, but still a strong showing. And Red Bull was sandbagging, weren't they?

 

[DBT85]

That gap between Hamilton on pole and Magnussen on 4th. 1.5 seconds!

I like that you can hear the crowd now.

So did I. Great to hear them cheering him on at the end of the lap and then cheering when he crossed the line.

 

[navanman]

In the dry I doubt they'd have been in the top 6.

Yup, I fully expect the Mercedes car to pull away easily tomorrow afternoon.
