  1. Alonso out qualified, he really loves to eat his words.

  2. Mercedes….. what a joke!! Ahahahahaaaaaaaaa!

    1. You really want to go there Sir? Well let us see, Mercedes are a successful car company running an F1 team. They have won 8 constructors titles in a row and still in a poor year running P3 overall. You in comparison are (with respect) a nobody making childish comments, working like a dog 9-5 to pay your bills and put food on the table. I know who I would laugh at and it is not Merc.

  3. Great qualy! Any of the top 3 could have taken it. Great showing by Alpine. I didn’t see Fernando’s last attempt but I assume he must have aborted after an error or something. He had been on it all through the session so I was surprised to see ocon ahead. The incident between Norris and Verstappen was mildly terrifying. I’m glad they didn’t make contact obviously…

  4. Alonso again can’t keep up with Ocon in qualification. This happened so many times when Alonso is fast until the last stage. I watched his best lap and didn’t notice any mistakes; it was a great lap, just not fast enough.

    I don’t see him beating Ocon tomorrow.
