HAM may be careful about the swearing but the moaning counter does hit the limiter constantly bleating every time he thought he was 'dissed' also adding the struggles from early in his long campaign that many other drivers also had but they didn't whine about it as much.

Congratulations to Kimi.

I believe Kimi will equal Barrichello's record of 322 F1 GP starts on Sunday.
Most of us including me like Kimi very much with his odd bouts of humour together with his realistic outlook on current life in F1, that in itself is worth some form of recognition from the FIA.

So,HAM goes 0.7 secs faster than BOT all of a sudden.BOT asks can I have 'strat 3' and the reply is 'there is no strat 3'.
'' more strat 3 in this run?'' engineer: ''negative, no more strat 3''. woof woof master

Red Bull's were looking promising in early parts of FP3 but afterwards it didnt go that well.. though pole should be something like 1.31.xxx.. even maybe high 1.30.. Merc's were lapping 1.33 - 1.34..

wrong my friend..
Bottas' 0.7 slower lap was in strat 3 as well.. so FP3 fastest times on both Merc's were strat 3.. you can take a look 44:40 of FP3..

LeCrash was very lucky...

MAX back on P3 .
RIC is very fast . The Renaults topspeed looks like warp-speed ...337 km/h on the straight !

Dumbass Bottas parks at the #2 spot. Boy you've been outqualified by a much slower car.
Please give your seat to Russell.

wow i thought for few seconds that Lewis lost the session and it was soo close.. especially after that Renault blocked him..
and yeah having a gap like 0.7 with Bottas.. this place was the track Bottas was the strongest.. Lewis crushed him after a stressy Q2.. but Bottas didnt get it..

last minute changes seems worked for Max.. well done to him for bringing the car to the 2nd grid.. wish Albon could put a better lap..

Renaults look like they re enjoying their time in Sochi.. i hope their race pace ll be good as in quali tomorrow..

for Ferrari's.. this video shows a rehearsal from the past..

I'll be glad if you're right. Not Max though. And nobody gets hurt (physically).

HAM will be in trouble . That's for sure ,knowing MAX's racecraft !
RB found in the last 20 min. an outstanding setup regarding the RB16's balance and grip .

As we know , the RB16 is always faster during the race than in the QF.
But that ...That is actually MAX fighting back with less , and pushing it beyond hell's limits !

By this , HAM is warned for tomorrow and he knows it ! And his heart rate will be higher than usual !

As for the race from tomorrow , we can finally expect fireworks again !

A real race mate !
