    Not on that safety car shot we saw before the ad break.

    Qualifying not surprisingly delayed.

    I just hope they don’t wait until it’s practically bone dry before they let them go out.

    I doubt they’ll do that given the alpine team director said it’s 80% chance of rain today and tomorrow so they’ll likely not got a bone dry track.

    another point that was just made, they teams have four sets of inters and three full wet sets for possibly two days of running.

    So which one of Russell or Latifi will bin it first?

    Ah disaster for George Russell when he was on a good lap.

    Latifi it is!

    I imagine the Williams is fueled for a few laps so Russell will just have to do it again.

    Latifi answers your question.

    The Williams had the right idea going out on the inters.

    George Russell is having a good session.

    Russell is flying out there even with everyone on the inters

    The mercs will most likely get through to Q3 but they are going to have to work for it.

    Third set of inters on for Mercedes out of a total of four for the race weekend.

    They did get through but they was harder then it should have been especially if the conditions are the same in the race as it is during qualifying.

    Brundle making a mess of the commentary there.

    From what I can see, the Merc is lightning in S1 and S3 but is like a pig in S2. The amount of time they lose there is mental.

    They're probably running little downforce compared to the rest, S2 is twisty and almost all downhill so you need some wing for that

    Norris is really walloping the kerbs on the final chicane.

    Looks wetter again, Norris is in the mix for pole

    Mercedes have had an atrocious qualifying, even if they manage to finish P1 or P2

    Massive shunt for Lando, seems like he's okay but scary one

    I was just about to say there has to be a red flag just before Lando went off.

    Thank Christ he’s ok. I feared the worst when Vettel pulled up to him.

    Great to see Lando getting out of the car. Heavy heavy shunt.

    Big enough impact.

    I think Lando could have broken his arm. He’s holding it across his body.

    I’m not a doctor but they way he was holding it just looked very similar to how people are advised to hold it when it’s potentially broken.

    Big one for Lando, looks OK thankfully. I thought Vettel was being a bit too careful calling for a red flag but it seems he was right
