Couldn't watch live, but just watched a recording of qualification. Brilliant showing by Lando, my qualification DOD and I hope it is a sign of things to come for McLaren.
Bottas looked good for pole from Q1 onward. I think he has a very cool head what with Lewis taking the headlines all through the practice sessions then turning it on at exactly the right time. I did wonder whether the "off track" on the last run was on purpose (doing a Nico Rosberg), if it was then fair play, shows a ruthless streak. He will need to be ruthless to come out on top with a motivated Hamilton as competition.
RBR probably think they are in the pound seats tomorrow with Max starting on a harder tyre but I think the two Mercedes will be off into the distance if they get away clean. They seem to have a massive performance advantage in qualy and race trim. Almost like the start of the hybrid era.
Good grief!
Just read back a few pages on here and I see there was some post qualification controversy with Hamilton. When I got home I checked the result on https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1 before watching recording and it doesn't say anything about that at all!
I hope we aren't going to get another season of nonsense from the FIA. Let them decide it on track, not in the stewards room.

When I look fast, I'm not smooth and I am going slowly. And when I look slow, I am smooth and going fast.
