   I think Rosberg will get pole if Hamilton can not get it together.
   Kimi looking really good here.

      What is going on with Hamilton? =8-!
      1.5 seconds slower than Rosberg is a massive difference!

   a lizard was spotted crossing the circuit, undisturbed by the passage of Verstappen’s RB12.

   That’s what we think; you should’ve heard the lizard on his board radio ;-)

      Lizard to pitwall: “No wonder they call him ‘Mad Max’!”

   Long lap, big gaps, but some cars seem to be going pretty well, looking at this session alone, there’s a Merc on top, RB is 2nd and Ferrari 3rd but I think there’s a wider picture. I think the lap times are going to get a lot quicker than this, as usual in Singapore the qualifying is run on cooler conditions and there’s always some fuel and PU modes to account for. I think qualifying is going to be frenetic. I really can’t see who’s going to deliver. Ham has had a troubled weekend but he’s shown to be comfortable on that car before so you never know.
   Where’s McLaren? I keep saying the same, the race team is under massive pressure, Honda is also under pressure but Honda not only have improved they’ve kept some humility. McLaren on the other side are constantly trying to prove their chassis’ worth. McLaren have to stop blaming Honda, and look at where the performance is, the tyres the chassis the aero, those are variables, the penalty they carry from the lack of power is a constant, you just got to move forwards from that.

   Good thing that even if it was on a flying lap, the lizard kept its line and did not try to block.

      It was nothing to worry about. Max had that lizard in the bag!

      I’ll get my coat…

   So, how did the lizards long stint looked like relative to the Mercedes?

      Not too good, clearly lacking horsepower, although a good chassis.

      I think it was pretty much on par with the McLarens.
