Yeah, Stroll will sell before he gets rid of his son.

Wet FP1 session

Magnussen looking strong again with the Haas so far
Ferrari impressing the home crowd so far

If the weather holds true, tomorrow's sprint race and Sunday's race should be exciting. Some could opt to put a drier car setup in place to get maximum track position in the sprint race, and then try to maintain during Sunday's race. Should be a lot of variance either way which means good racing for us!

Ferrari with a second and a half on the field. How does that even happen.
Nice showing by Haas so far.

They have a clear advantage due to their lower drag car, but to be fair, there was a yellow with 5 min to go when everyone went out to set fast laps.

Thinking it will be more like 5 tenths advantage in qualifying.

Watched last half of Q2 on silent. Did a lot of teams just choose to not come back out because of the weather?

Correct, everybody in the elimination zone knew they weren't setting a faster time on a now-wet track than was set on the dry track before the red flag, so they didn't even bother. The drivers that were safe to make it to Q3 got out and tested the track a little bit, but nothing remotely aggressive

Wow, so Vettel through to Q3 and HAM/RUS eliminated after Q2.

Hamilton seems so defeated by the car not being good.

Bottas in the wall and a Red Flag.

Possibly no Q3 restart

I think he was mentally on the fence coming into this year- and now with the car performance, he's just not mentally into it.

Both quali for F1 and F3 ended terribly. F2 missed out on their practice, so they moved it down to when their quali was meant to happen, and now their quali is just starting. Hoping for at least one good quali session today.

Is Kevin Magnussen an Aggie? Can we claim him?

Great Haas is doing better and Merc not. Also one DNF for Ferrari could give RB a shot to earn back some points.

So I wake up this morning to read Russell and Hamilton went P1/P4 in FP2. Where did that come from?

Found a way to harness all the tension from the Toto/Lewis interaction and coneert to raw energy?

Cars are in parc ferme condition, so the teams can't change much other than front wing angles and tire pressures. Merc probably has setup steered more towards dry weather. Just a guess.

Max just can not get off the line.

So I understand the qualifying in most races with Q1 Q2 Q3, but what does the Sprint do?

Terrific pass by Max for the win.
Haas really misplayed their hand with that tire choice.

Knock out qualifying sets the grid for the sprint. Sprint results set the grid for the race.

The order of finish today sets the order of start tomorrow.

The only caveat is that the pole winner from qualifying will still start first on Sunday regardless of the sprint results.

That was fun, though.

That doesn't sound right at all. Friday Quali winner gets awarded a statistical pole, but Sprint results determine full grid for Sunday

F1 is better when Lewis Hamilton doesn't have the fastest car on the track.

Ah yes, apparently the article I read was incorrect; just statistical pole.

F3 race is on, track is still wet in some areas. Few drivers in wet tires. Gonna be interesting to see how these strategies play out.

EDIT: They all pit. Seems like the track is drying. All of them dropped down.

Ha. Sucks for the all those Italian fans.
