Sweet, Mercedes 1 second clear of the field. Can't wait for yet another exciting F1 season with the incredible competition on track!

I liked Hamilton at the beginning when he first started... all the way up to 2013... After that, he became too much of a WannaBe-Rapper/model/I'm-so-cool-kind-of-guy... He's a good driver, but not digging his personal life.

I hope Ferrari takes the podium... even if it's Vettel who I can't stand.

I'd be happy with SEB winning in his red. I'm really pulling for Kimi this year though ... i think it is his time to shine

I think this year's Ferrari is absolutely stunning. Hopefully they can get some podiums and maybe a win.

Quali results Hamilton Rosberg Massa Vettel and Raikonnen. Ferrari's pace is very surprising.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Thanks for the website. Finally able to watch a full qualifying since 2000.
McLaren-Honda was last in pack.

McLaren is a complete disaster. Benz is too fast with Williams as a distant 2nd. 2014 allover again. Ferrari looks slightly stronger but that could be due to McLaren being the slowest team on the circuit.

Go Massa!

That was painful to watch for Mclaren.

Ron Dennis looked like he was going to cry post qualifying.

yea, it was pretty bad. I was actually glad Alonso wasn't driving and spare him the shame.

Ferrari looked much better, both VET and RAI were competitive. Other than that Williams still looks like the second best team but looks like Mercedes pulled ahead further rather than other teams closing the gap

They did actually. Between a PU issue and the conservative data mapping settings they chose, it resulted in that placing.

Kevin said they're not even going to try for points, just learning

Merc obviously dominant for outright, one lap pace, but great to see Ferrari in the mix.

Other than reliability, tire wear tbd. Kimi in particular might be able to make some inroads on the mercs there.

Can't wait for the race!

Other quali thought, Verstappen, Sainz, and Nasr look very legit. Nasr in particular with a p11 in the Sauber (huh?). Nearly 2.6 seconds ahead of his team mate and almost cracked Q3.

Mercedes pace is once again dominant. Hoping Hamilton can repeat this year. It was great to see Nico struggle a bit.

It was interesting to see Hamilton checking out the Ferrari at the end of qualifying as he made his way to the weight scales. The new Ferrari's are beautiful and I can foresee them putting up a good fight with Williams this year.

No wonder Alonso lost his memory. He doesn't recall he has ever driven any car worse than the current McLaren.

I'd pretend memory loss and trying to stay away from this POS! LOL!!!
j/k aside, wish him be back on the track again.

Damnit, I hope Honda's PU issues are just reliability and that performance is there (once turned up). This is pretty sad for McLaren-Honda and quite embarrassing TBH. I hope they they can recover even though the prospects don't look good for the foreseeable future.

Given the pace of the Mercs on the harder compound tyres, the result should be a Merc 1-2. Great to see the Torro Rosso team doing well in early quail.

Speaking of STR... who run a Renault PU.. same PU as the Red Bull...

Not much yapping coming out of STR about how crap the Renault PU is.

Not a fan of Williams, but I am a Massa Fan.
I would really like to see Massa win.
