I jumped out of my seat, the drama build up of that last sector was vintage F1. New world record too: most career poles at a single GP, beat Senna and Schumacher.
This is the first race where there's some chance he won't win. If his previous starts have been anything to go by then it's possible that Lando takes him on the start and him and Lewis pull enough of a gap to make it difficult for Max to overtake.
Ok maybe I'm in Dreamland but this is probably the first race where it's not guaranteed that Max will win.
Tbh RBR have to fuck up strategy or something else goes wrong for Max to not be P1. The race pace is just too insane. As a Ferrari fan I REALLY hope Lewis or Lando upset though, this season is getting pretty boring.
They can win a pretty weird qualifying session. Let's see about the race tomorrow. I'm sadly expecting Verstappen ahead by lap 2, and for the rest of the race (ignoring pitting).
Yes, I can't see Hamilton throwing away a position in the top five to fight too hard with Verstappen. And verstappen, like Hamilton, is extremely good at getting past and then gently eking out a lead in a superior car without destroying his tyres. I think 2 laps minimum, 5 maximum, Verstappen is past and building his lead.
