   Too close to call. Unless it rains, then its Hamilton for sure.

      Don’t forget Ferrari party mode is more potent than Mercedes. It’s a repeating episode this year Ferrari will be sandbagging on Friday and come up to the top or nearing to the pole.

      Sounds like you are saying you are certain it will be Hamilton until the rain comes. I assume you mean the other way round.

         Not so sure. It sounds more like Hamilton belongs to a certain ‘it’ ;-)

      Why did vettel almost took the pole in Malaysia (wet) with an inferior redbull in 2014 and did the same in the also inferior Ferrari of 2015… Wet again.. super mercedes+supposed master of the rain barely took the pole, I “think” if it rain.. it could be max or vettels pole

   Interesting that the top 6 is exactly the same order as last year, and the 7,8th placed guys (Haas) just switched around; though this time Mercedes is a lot closer to Vettel, and Raikkonen also a bit, while Red Bull is about a tenth further away, with Haas about the same ~.9s behind Vettel.

   With Bottas having got pole last year, I think it will be an interesting three way fight for pole. @invictus I don’t see a real chance of rain (2-4%?), do you?

   Vettel and the two Mercedes separated by just a tenth of a second, plus a fiercely competitive midfield group… should be a good qualifying session.

      Pole position will go down to who’s party mode is the best in Q3. Midfield is definitely interesting. Haas should be best of the rest but both Renaults, one Toro Rosso and one Sauber look pretty strong as well.

      Hoping McLaren makes it out of Q1. Don’t see either of them qualifying higher than P13 though.

         @todfod Would be fun to see both McLarens dropped in Q1 IMO. Serves them right.

   Why TR Honda always better than MCL?

   Hartley, Stroll, Ericsson and Sirotkin do not belong in F1. It makes a mockery of the brand position of the sport.

      For Stroll and Sirotkin it can very well (also) be the car.
      Even Kubica mentioned that,

         Not trying to argue or disagree, just wanted to add that it’s in Kubica’s self-interest and he’s actually paid to say that. Plus look at what cars he’s comparing that Williams to.
