2017 FORMULA 1 PETRONAS MALAYSIA GRAND PRIX: QUALIFYING *** SPOILERS ***

Sebs on track.....scratch that wishful thinking from me

 

They fitted a new engine (it was the 4th of the season so there would be no penalty), but it just isn't running properly.

As I suspected: GAME OVER!

 

You must be watching another Q.

 

with Seb unable to take part to the qualifs, the championship could be over soon.

 

Nando ....Stubble is faster than you!

Carlos ..Ghastly is faster than you!

Nico...Palmer is faster than you!

Sergio....Ocon is faster than you!

 

Crap!!!.....for Seb.

 

Oh man LOL!!

 

Equation of the Year --> Stroll = Massa + 0.7

 

Aha I see ..

 

Its all up to the Kim-ster tomorrow. Hear that Bas!

 

I was jumping the gun...

 

well looks like championship sorted

nothing to watch anymore

 

Give them a break FFS - They had only 2 hours to do a job that should take @ twice that time!

The fact that they got the car rolling on track at all in time was a bit of a miracle!

At least Seb appreciates the efforts that the team went to, to try and get him into qualifying.

(Now I'll have to put up with Steve "I love Lewis Hamilton!" Jones on Channel 4 in the UK to start gloating about what has happened ).

On the plus side - Ferrari can now fit a brand new turbo and MGUK to the power-unit and and take a meaningless 5 place grid penalty for the race.

 

A very hard row to hoe from back there.....

However, didn't one J Watson do it at Long Beach many years ago?

 

Kimi nice ...now lets see what Birthday boy can do

 

Yes, the team did an admirable job getting the car running. Seb was great thanking the guys for doing their best. Time to make lemonade with a new motor, turbo...

 

A completely new power-unit/turbo/MGUK, and a shed load of brand new tyres - Seb's going to have some fun overtaking people tomorrow!

 

He seems pretty optimistic as well.

 

By lap 5, Seb will be in the top 10.

 

GO Bottas LOL

 

In a McLaren Honda to boot iirc...

 

That's because he knows he'll be nowhere near Max and Kimi going into turn 1 this weekend!

 

Haha yes he did make reference to that ...like anything can happen...

 

Im glad Seb appears confident. He's hiding a boiling temper and most likely a touch depressed. He needs wins not points. A win or podium tomorrow for LH is going to end this.....the fact is the lead LH has will be increased making a Vettel title even more unlikely. Today with a motor issue is the last thing his title hopes need. In my opinion his title chances were ruined mostly by his own actions.....
