Alex p.Ha. It's Hamilton after all I was right.
I was expecting something more unexpected. Scratch that Hamilton's stopped

Vettel back out
Alonso fastest.
They called him off as he was too slow during the lap

Does this mean Hamilton gets penalised?

Great lap by Alonso - looks like Ferrari have made a step in the right direction, although Massa is being Massa.
Cracking lap by LH too. 👍
They need to crack down on this "not running a lap in Q3" malarky though, its a bit of a joke.

As Martin Brundle said, all the teams would have been running very light on fuel to get the most out of the car. McLaren and Hamilton were obviously a bit too light on fuel to make it back to the pit lane.
EDIT: Spoke too soon! There was indeed an actual problem with the car. I probably missed that during the ad break...

You don't get a WDC for performing the best in qualifying so it has to be sacrificed for race strategy sometimes. It sucks for spectators, but it's all about the win in the end...

I think we can say with a lot more certainty now that this years Williams has proper pace; considering that Maldonado has been up there all weekend with consistent track conditions. I honestly wouldn't have expected this at the begging of the season since the car hardly seemed any different from last years atrocity, but what they have done has worked for them!

While I don't agree with banning the blown diffusers, though I agree with the engine-mapping crackdown, it's hard to argue with the results... Look at how damn close this field is...
Now all we have to do is find a way to slow down that McLaren...

I can already see another flame war ensuing with this statement, better stay out of it.
Congratulations Hamilton and Maldonado, but high chance of both of them trying to pass one another and contact is almost likely. After all, this is Hamilton and Maldonado we're talking about.

I thought it wasn't fuel. I knew there was something wrong with the car. I just didn't know what.As Martin Brundle said, all the teams would have been running very light on fuel to get the most out of the car.

Man, that was some really intense 🤬
Hamilton on pole - WOOPEE (hopes pit crew have had training)
Maldonado - great job, that was a really impressive performance. 👍
Red Bull; nowhere to be seen, just the way I like it
Lotus Renault; a handy starting position for both their drivers, could be interesting.
I watched the whole thing on BBC, so much better than Sky...

Lee McKenzie is so much better than Georgie Thomas as well, good to see her again

Thanks and I bow down to your superior knowledge and age lol. I don't think any commentator can replace Murray as the best F1 commentator.
