    Q3 was fantastic. Max being on the softs should make for an easy early lead then it's all about how long the tires last.

    This new track configuration would seem to have a fairly low chance of safety car or red flag.

    Max is on a softer tire, so it's not probable that Lewis will be able to challenge him there on lap 1. It will probably come down to tire
    strategy and whether or not soft-hard has enough near the end to hold
    off medium-hard. *That's* when fireworks are most likely

    HAM gets better start, VER breaks late into Turn1 in an attempt to run
    HAM off outside of turn but HAM dives inside.

    Then what ?

    NOR sensibly suggested that he may hang back where it is relatively safe
    until the custard clears. Hell, he may actually win if ....!

    I must admit that I smiled at the end of Lewis' post-qually interview when he said that at least
    he'll have a good view of Max going into the first corner.

    Was Perez on softs as well in Q2? I think so.

    In which case, he's going to be told to do everything he can to mess up Hamilton's early run on the mediums.

    A first win for Lando seems possible to me too.

    Got it wrong. It was turn 6 before VER took a line specificallyintended
    to run HAM off.

    The stewards' decision in favour of HAM in the end worked for VER
    because it gave them the choice from behind to switch tyre strategy, and
    along with the Safety Car, gifted VER the race.
