Max's long run pace yesterday was quite strong (Pete Windsor video) yesterday. It seemed like Nor was closest but still a bit off. Would certainly like to see Per with some good points this weekend.

Let's see how this goes when they turn up the wick.

MAX has the Mercs under his heels as Serge makes Q3 as I predicted.

Yes, Max is set up way more for the race and again, as mentioned, his race pace was better. You could even hear a bit of that doubt when they asked Nor if he could win knowing that Max and MB are quicker.

I do think in the next few rounds it will be RB and then MB as Mclaren sink to 3 and Ferrari find themselves at #4.

Same here, I always feel with the MAX factor there is something in reserve which they would rather not use and Merc can't jump that far in such a short time with their car that they seemingly have on the right course now.

Second row at the startgrid is interesting ...

T1 : Think RUS will take a plunge into the unknow !
And LEW will whine again with Charlie and Sainz on his tail...

It's obvious to everyone that RUS is taking no prisoners and I keep seing 2016 Merc scene at the start
