P3 and Red Bull not so impressive on this run. Max's car has just given up the ghost

With 4 minutes left we have Bottas. Raikonnen, Hamilton, Ocon, Ricciardo, Massa and Verstappen

P3 now finished....

Qualifying starts at 2pm...

[Cleoriff]

A bit nail-biting at the moment. Lewis fastest in Q1 and Q2.......Bottas 2nd ..Vettel 3rd....

4th Verstappen,
5th  Raikkonen,
6th  Ricciardo,
7th Stroll,
8th Perez,
9th Massa

10th Ocon,

Q3 just started.....

Danny Ric has stuffed it into the wall now.
Red flag.....

[Cleoriff]

Session red flagged with 3.30 mins to go. Time stopped. Bottas currently on pole

[MI5]

Well done Lewis

[jonsie]

Hamilton smashed it 😀😀😀

[Cleoriff]

Brilliant brilliant Lewis. Pole

Bottas 2nd

[Cleoriff]

Well Lewis had a good start. Bottas didn't and came together with Kimi....This allowed Vettel to slide up to 2nd.....Perez is 3rd and Verstappen 4th....(cant be assed to give the other positions.....we are only on lap 6 lol)

Bottas has been in the pit and is back out in 20th...Oh dear...

Vettel's penalty points tally comes from:

2016 British Grand Prix – running Felipe Massa off track (2 points)

2016 Malaysian Grand Prix – causing first corner incident with Nico Rosberg (2 points)

2016 Mexican Grand Prix – moving under braking (2 points)

2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix – potentially dangerous move on Lewis Hamilton (3 points)

"Potentially dangerous move" !!!!........a deliberate, reckless, premeditated collision.

Vettel should be banned for "losing it" and using his car as a weapon.

A mentally unstable F1 driver is not what the sport requires......ever.
