Monster lap under pressure by Hamilton, with no margin for error.
Fireblade
24th June 2017, 15:21
Right, he was only a second faster than the first non-Mercedes. The pressure must have been immense.
This era is killing F1. Four years of watching one team have unprecedented superiority, locked in by idiotic rules, is not something F1 can survive.

Well, that was very disappointing. Really starting to like the track, but Mercedes dominance is very annoying and depressing. Red Bull ultimately letting down too, Verstappen not using his final lap, I don’t know, the Ferrari doesn’t seem faster… Hope the differences aren’t as big tomorrow, because this track has great racing in it, potentially. And this better not be a prelude for the season, because I don’t see Vettel holding on to make it a fight in that case.

24th June 2017, 15:14
Max had an technical issue in the last lap. Something with the gear sync that cost him the lap.
So the Bull let him down ones again

Some people will never be happy. Mercedes are NOT dominating this year. Seb has led the points all year.

The Mercedes car has been dominant again this year. Seb is leading the points (until tomorrow) because he’s been by far the best driver this year.

@Fireblade.
Wrong, again…….You have a selectively short memory. Ferrari had the better race car at the start of the season.
It looks like Mercedes are learning more and more how to get their rather awkward car working in the right zone. Right now, they are ahead. The others have a chance to catch up. Try to appreciate the work and talent of all of these people.

24th June 2017, 15:12
What a final lap from Lewis!!! He laid it all on the line in the middle sector…. which was the sector where he was slower in FP2/3….
Great job from Kimi too. He beat Seb fair and square. What will happen to reverse the order in race day? (insert conspiracy theory here).
Lance Stroll has made a big effort, and finally out qualified the old man… (Massa). He didn’t put it in the barriers in FP air qualy …. great stuff.

Red Bull so close to Ferrari on a power track? Seems Ferrari is at its old habit again, losing the “development war” mid season. Again, again…. and again
Nigel
24th June 2017, 15:19
No, they just didn’t get the tyres right.
No way they’re a second a lap slower than Mercedes.

24th June 2017, 15:27
They are and Red Bull is gaining every race weekend. At the Hungaroring or Spa, Red Bull is in front of Ferrari.

Ferrari hasn’t lost anything. It is Mercedes blatantly cheating and FIA allowing them to get away with it. Mercedes single handedly introduced the new 5k oil limit(well above what can be used as fuel) =)) what a joke F1 has turned into.

The season is over, aside from going through the motions. Ferrari is losing pace and competitiveness versus Mercedes, and Bottas is no match for Hamilton.

Brilliant pole lap again from Lewis. He’s really on fire ATM.
Very disappointing result for Max, his Bull let him down ones again with an gear sync issue in his final Q3 lap. In his own words: this cost him P3. Again he was faster than RIC all weekend so far.
Ben Rowe (@thegianthogweed)

@anunaki
I’d say Hamilton was only mighty impressive on his very last attempt (where he was fastest). That crash could have had a worse impact and Hamilton messed up his first lap, unlike Bottas. This would have resulted in Bottas getting pole due to Hamilton not performing when it matters. I’m not sure who will win tomorrow. It probably well be between the 2 Mercedes drivers. Hamilton’s pace on the long runs during practice looked quite a bit down on Bottas so we will have to see how he performs in the race. I think Bottas has a decent chance of beating him if he gets a good start like he did in Russia. But we will see.

That crash by Ricciardo I mean could have ended qualifying altogether.

Hamilton without a shadow of a doubt performed when it mattered. It’s was an incredible lap.

24th June 2017, 15:58
Unlike 2016 Hamilton was very impressive through all of Qualifying this year. The first lap in Q3 was the only blight on the session for him, even then his times through S1 & 2 showed the additonal pace he had found in the car vs Bottas.
Arad (@just-an-fan)

What a bunch of vile cretins are the sky commentators. During Q2 they were insinuating that Vettel needs a tow from Kimi to get into Q3. They are full of s h i t !!

I think we are up for another huge snooze fest.
Unless some dramatic happens, I predict it will go like this:
HAM in front, with a decent gap to BOT.
BOT on 2nd, with a decent gap to VET.
VET on 3rd, with a decent gap to either VER or RAI.
The only battle will be between the Mercedes powered cars and I hope for some excitement there.

VET is 4th not 3rd, a whopping 2/10 of Raikkonen. Don’t make up stuff, like you want to read it.

2016 reloaded for Ferrari (… so far): they were more than 1 second behind ROS in Quali last year too. VET started 4th last year too, finished 2nd. Hope he’ll finish again 2nd tomorrow. There’re few chances to win it unless HAM DNFs, so 2nd seems like least damage in the WDC at the moment.
