Good news if you're a Kelly Piquet fan, see also Christan Horner or Toto Wolff. All eyes are pretty much on 4 men this weekend with the occasional nod to Raikkonen, Russell or even, maybe, Giovinnazi.
On to Qualifying and there was bollards on the track. Bit like the last race. The Red Flag was put out. Bit like the last race. Mercedes were dominant in the first session. With Tsunoda and Gasly doing very well. At the bottom end, both Haas, both Williams (Mr Saturday no more) and Raikkonen's Alfa Romeo all predictably out.
The second session was a parade as well. The only interest was when Verstappen flat-spotted his tire, which was his race tire. A lot of cars went out at the end of the session, which may have caused an incident of note, but no. The only surprise was Gasly out in 12th.
The third and final session was also fairly dull. As Hamilton crossed the line, he was unable to do better than second and the crowd roared. Bottas and Perez were unable to make the top 3, with Norris in third with an excellent performance. Red Bull worked hard for that pole, with the perfect slip stream set up from Perez.
With the race and championship leaning in Hamilton's favour, this was the result that we all needed and wanted. Obviously we were aware that the stewards could find anything overnight to ruin it.
