It's Mad Max's to lose. The tyre gamble wasn't on safety cars but tyre performance and the Mercedes were frying them at the start.
Pepe is ecstatic about his fourth place.
That is how far Ferrari have fallen.
Good win for mad Max...well done to him.
Hamilton manages second place. Merc was really eating the tyres again and the punctures last week will have been a big influence.
A warm up lap to go before the start....
Crap start for Bottas, Hammy and Mad Max in front.
It's good to support the runner up, it gives them hope.
Formula 1 has confirmed the final four races for the 2020 season, including Turkey's return after a nine-year absence and two grands prix in Bahrain.
With Abu Dhabi staging the final round on December 13, it means the sport has constructed an impressive 17-race calendar after the delays and restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The next two are great fun, both low drag circuits built for speed with setup crucial to remaining on the track...
Mad Max has been going nicely in FP. He made a pigs arse of the last lap and was still less than a tenth Bottas' lead wih Hammy 3/10ths back.
Quali at 8pm Thailand.
Pepe Le Pew and Grumpy both failed to get out of Q2.
Beaten by the Alphatauri's FFS
50% chance of rain in the middle of the race tomorrow.
That should give Ferrari some heart.
^ They were lucky to get into Q2!! Yellow flags at the end of Q1 helped them...
I notice Vettel was 2s off the pace. Wasn't there a time (1980's?) when you had to be within 2s of pole to qualify for the race?
It looks as if the circuit will be dry for the race...no repeat of 1998 where Coulthard took out half the field in the first start and then Schumacher when he was leading.
Warm-up lap. Sainz out with exhaust failure.
I'm not gonna start watching races again till the new cars come out. Sounds like the whole field will have a better chance with the 2022 car. New cars look as horny as ever
