It's a "beautiful, sunny day here in Suzuka" says the Sky commentator.

Red flag - Kubica tanks it on the start / finish line.

On the final bend, he drifts out onto the grass.

 

[Limejuice]

Red flag #2.

K Mag stuffs it into the wall at the start / finish line. He manages to drive it away minus a front wing.

Gusting tail-wind?

 

[Limejuice]

Well, Q2 sees Mercedes ahead of Red Bull and Ferrari. Albon is 3rd, well ahead of Max.

 

[Limejuice]

Now the Ferraris show some pace in Q3.

It's Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull and McLaren, in that order.

And Vettel beats Leclerc by two tenths.

 

[Limejuice]

...and back again.



Bleugh.

Morning RaceFam

Missed Quali but got the

big 4k HD telly

laptop fired up and looking forward to this one

 

[Badgers]

Alright for you, the race starts at 2am for me. I'm watching the qualifying here at the bar and we will return home for the race, I shouldn't be too pissed

How is that working out?

 

[Badgers]

AND MY WIFI HAS GONE DOWN

 

[Limejuice]

So, will Leclerc and Vettel take each other out?

you know you can make your phone a hotspot, if your wifi doesn't come back look it up on youtube

Morning. I just caught up on quali - wonder if MAG and KUB will have their cars repaired in time? Ferrari turned up their engines at the last minute I suppose.

Just sitting down to watch the race now.

I tried but could not do it luckily the WiFi started okay after a router reboot and some swearing got a cider in hand and all set for the go go go

 

[Badgers]

So, will Leclerc and Vettel take each other out?

It would be hilarious but I think they will tiptoe the start. Vettel will get away

 

[Badgers]

Woah Bottas

 

[Limejuice]

Vettel jump start?

 

[Badgers]

Vettel jump start?

Any penalty for Leclerc on Verstappen? Going to be an early pitstop regardless.

 

[Indeliblelink]

Go Botty

 

[Limejuice]

Hmm, Leclerc clearly got a bit Schumacher at that first corner and belted Max.

 

[Badgers]

No Vettel jump start then?

 

[Limejuice]

Both Ferraris under investigation for various incidents.

 

[MrCurry]

You have to admire the sheer creativity of Ferrari, constantly finding new ways to screw their own race up, whenever they have the fastest car.

 

[Badgers]

How long does it take to work out if he jumped the start? I would have thought 1 minute at most.

Listening to Ferrari pleading he got no advantage?

ETA: no penalty.

I thought a jump is a jump regardless

Vettel two stopping and Botty in

"Why did you put me on this tyre?"

I wish Hammy would stop moaning on the radio during the race. He sounds like a two-year-old.

He does this a fair bit then ends up winning Bottas looking good for the win. The Vettel vs Hamilton for 2/3rd could get tasty.

Bottas looking good for the win. The Vettel vs Hamilton for 2/3rd could get tasty.

Plus a post-race penalty for "Basher" Leclerc. Happy days.
