   That was weird for Hamilton, and with his 5-place penalty, I doubt he’ll do much running in qualy, I could be wrong..

         I’m just not sure if those brakes will get fixed in time for Q1.

      He’ll be going hard for 6th on the grid.

      @arobbo He’ll want to be on pole in order to start as high up after his penalty. I think it was weird because his brakes were releasing lots of brake dust yet the team was seemingly comfortable with that.

   Why would he not do much running? He is likely to be fastest and start 6th.

   Lewis needs to get out early in q1 after the brake issue and do something he has never done before……..a BRAKE TEST to make sure everything is ok.

   Why are the Saubers so slow? Are they secretly running Honda engines?

      The honda engines will be faster than the ones they have now. They have an old 2016 Ferrari engine which is the slowest of them all. They have been the slowest team almost every race. I think a Honda engine net yea will be a good opton for the team. It will be better than using a year old engine. Even if it is unreliable, I still think it will give the team more potintial to get points that they could with a year old engine. This is unlikely, but if they do go for Honda, they could have suddenly got things right and that would be interesting. There could always be a small chance of that happening.

      Ferrari gave them all of Kimi’s PUs from last year since they were gently previously enjoyed.

   Looking at the Friday Saturday difference, it looks like Ferrari have shown their hand while Red Bull and Mercedes have kept something in reserve.
   Barring more technical problems for Hamilton, I think Bottas, Vettel and Verstappen could be fighting for P2 (which is effective pole position), it will be decided by hundredths of seconds, I am sure! Should be a very exciting qualifying.

      Just as easy to say Merc and RB showed their hands yesterday and Ferrari are fastest when they all push.

   Still find it weird how far down FI and Williams are, perhaps the balance has shifted towards better chassis with the new cars.
