I really like this track, looks beautiful and it's really short so the laps just keep coming fast.

Haas are looking quick this weekend

Q1 and Q2 must have been really interesting as I fell asleep.

Meanwhile Lewis has legit started his pop career

Lewis Hamilton is secret singer on new Christina Aguilera track
Determined to do more than be in pole position, the F1 star makes his music debut in a duet with the star for her new single Pipe.

Doesn't he want to do something like that after his F1 career anyway? Probably thinks its a good way to get into it.

Anyway back to F1, loved qualy today, very close throughout and Bottas pulled off a spectacular lap for pole position, not quite sure why Ferrari decided to screw up their race strategy for tomorrow today though? Could have easily cleared Q2 on super softs yet they went for ultras, I can only guess they're hoping to jump them in the first couple of laps? I was actually surprised none of the top 6 tried a soft tyre run in Q2, could have been an interesting strategy for the race letting them go really long, then depending how long is left chuck on a set of ultra or super softs.

Vettel drops three places for impeding Sainz.

[Robbo-92]

I didn't see the incident, anyone got a link to it?

[Vermilion]

I wasn't expecting much from Lewis's musical efforts, but he's actually pretty good.

Next 007, you heard it here first...

[Robbo-92]

Can see why it was a penalty for Vettel having seen the incident, think it looked worse as Sainz had to go off the track to avoid Vettel. I had to laugh when Sky said the stewards were being consistent, they've been anything but in my opinion!

[KK]

These track interviews are always amusing.

[Lotus]

Vettel's penalty seems a bit harsh. I mean, it is a penalty, but plenty of other people have got away with doing the same thing. The inconsistency of the rules being applied is the worst thing.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Hamilton off into the distance. It's gonna be another WDC for him at this rate.

Dat Bottas ovetake
