Dutch TV reporter asked Lance after quali: "Do you have anything to say to all the criticasters"? --> Leave the talking on the track was his answer.That pic is perfect
A lot people (me included) have talked a lot of 🤬 about Lance but today he gave us all the middle finger. He did a great job, I’m stoked for him.

It seems RP has chosen to use the 'wet quali mode' and other teams the race setup for tomorrow's race. Will that make a lot of differences?
Already looking forward to the race to come. If it is only 50% of this quali that I'm already satisfied.
Edit: Lance and others summoned to race directors....

Have these positions been confirmed yet? Stroll remains under investigation (along with many other drivers) as far as I can see?
EDIT: I see he's visiting the stewards... tree'd by @PaMu1337
Good question... Max was clearly happier on the wets but there's nothing to say that those tyres would have given him the pole time. I think it's not so much the inters as being sent out up Raikonnen's chuff that caused the problem.
EDIT:
We're used to delays in F1... perhaps the stewards should resolve yellow flag inquiries before each next session? Increase the penalties for yellow flag transgressions at the same time, that'll make the buggers back off. Because they do need to.

Interesting sessions. I liked watching the times come down to a pretty brisk 1:52 in the end. And it seems like the teams should've just stick with whatever was working rather than jumping to copy Perez with the inters.
There was another questionable safety call with the car clearing at the beginning of Q2. :|

How could it be consistent? There aren't a heap of similar incidents on these track conditions, and the stewards' explanation of their findings seems clear. Stroll did what was required under the flag. Whether or not that's enough in general terms is for the whole of F1 and the FIA to address.

Note that that decision is for a Q3 incident, not for Q1. The Q1 infringements have no decisions so far, and they also include Stroll.
Edit: Norris just got 5 places for Q1, ignoring yellows for Latifi.
Russell has been called to the stewards now for the same. I expect more to follow.

But if all others really didn't do anything wrong, as the fia document suggests, then Magnussen doesn't have any reason to complain.

With the changing track conditions, it's anyone's guess as to how much each driver slowed down compared to one another. I have a feeling some did so more than others. It sounds like Magnussen feels like he played it much safer than everyone else, and it cost him. What probably frustrated him most was missing Q2 by only one spot because of it. Oh well.

With Hamilton down in 6th, hopefully all Verstappen needs to do is get past Stroll and swim off into the distance.
Quite funny that the only car that can beat a 2020 Mercedes is the 2019 Mercedes. And both customer Ferrari Alfas outqualified the works Ferraris.

I get that Stroll keeps his place because he did lift off through the yellow zone, but then I'm confused about the penalty for Norris:
Aren't they the same actions in respect of the yellow flag, and wasn't the outcome the same? It seems odd that the driver who was trying to set a lap was let off but the driver who wasn't was penalised. That does seem inconsistent.

Man, I got the same feeling reading the quali results this morning as Monza race result 
Who says F1 is boring?
Even if it doesn't rain in the race, Mercs could still be in trouble because their dry pace doesn't look too good either from Friday. Their car is built to dominate, but only under "normal" conditions it seems. Throw in a curveball like the Silverstone heat or Turkey asphalt and it falls out of the window too quickly. I don't know why Lewis only did 3 laps in FP3, maybe they're playing it safe to avoid crashing but they're too confident in their own speed. Apart from Seb the 2 Alfa boys did the most laps in FP3 and it shows.
Lap 1 is gonna be total carnage. Lando said that the warmup lap is more like a cooldown lap because they can't drive fast enough to maintain heat in the tyres once it's out of the blankets

Lance seems to only really be good in the wet and at race starts. All of his best qualifying positions have come from wet/rapidly drying sessions, like Monza in 2017.

The regulations for double yellows are that you abort your lap. I guess the others did truly abort, while Norris continued the rest of his lap.
Edit: just watched Q1 replay. Everyone around Norris clearly aborted their lap, and was much slower than before. Norris improved his laptime by a lot. So Norris slowed down a bit for the yellows, but then went on with his lap.
