Epic Qualifying by Leclerc and Hamilton. Disappointing by Vettel and especially Bottas.

Fully agreed, a nice case of the drivers delivering to the cars’ capabilities for the top 5.

Agree. But to be fair, Leclerc had the tow from Vettel.

Well done Toto for retaining the amazing 2.0 Bottas. Amazing performances from him.

Ferrari should put Leclerc as number 1 driver now!

Won’t Verstappen be farther down due to his engine penalties?

28th September 2019, 14:15
Also Gasly, no?

Leclerc and Ham on a next level. Fact that Ham is pulling insane lap times out of that Merc is something else.
Leclerc tho!

They do!! But probably others as well but less visible. The redbull doesn’t look like a very good qualy car since Ferrari upped theirs.

Ferrari management need to get with the game and ask Mr Leclerc what he needs to be WDC.

Ferrari seem to have a very impressive car in qualy 2nd half of the season. Especially when Leclerc is driving it. Max would’ve imagined it very differently I think.

4 tenths faster than Vettel!
People complained of Leclercs radio messages in Singapore, but damn, his the one dragging Ferrari to new heights. Hamilton is faster than Vettel, the Ferrari pole is down to Charles. What an amazing talent!

Kubica will start behind Albon, because of an engine change.
