Nice one, Mark.

Fantastic lap by Mark, great call to ask for more wing.

Hamilton would of had pole of he didn't spin, only 0.2 down and he is by a long way the best and fastest at sector three so tomorrow it could be interesting we might have a fight for once

So Lewis is saying something broke on the rear of his car....

[Denthúl]

Interesting. It looked like he'd just put his foot down a little too early. Suspension, perhaps? I didn't see an off-board shot of it happening.

[operaman]

Perhaps gearbox? Doesn't look good for Hammy anyway.

I think whatever happened to Lewis' car happened in the first round of Q3, he took a big shunt and it gave out on the second round. Interestingly enough though he said he was 4tenths up on his time at the point it went out.

It's going to be a tough, tough, tough pool weekend.

I've heard that the tires are really on the edge of a two stop versus one stop strategy, so I'm wondering if we're going to see the usual suspects go for a one stopper with the rest going for an all out push two stopper.

Abu Dhabi is an easy place to overtake, so let's see how things pan out.

Abu Dhabi is an easy place to overtake

Tell that to Alonso.

[NHcheese]

Tell that to anyone behind a sauber or a mclaren.

It's actually a blessing in disguise that whatever went on Lewis' car went in qualifying instead of on race day.

that apostrophe is in the wrong place. and i dont get it, what went on his car.

you can say either, and it's commonly accepted to simply put an apostrophe at the end of a name that already ends in an s, plus it's visually more pleasing and more efficient.

Merc tweeted "We can confirm there was a technical problem with Lewis' car, as he suspected. More details to come when we have them."

[NHcheese]

But... His car was running fine apart from the spin. There was smoke coming from the brakes, did anyone else see that.

That's the heat soak that you get when the car is stopped, hence in parc ferme you may see small fans that help cool the brakes to stop them from smoking, it's likely that the problem happened just a moment before the spin.
