Wasn't paying attention, but they showed Mistico during FP3, maybe that's who you saw?

Possibly, it was just the Channel 4 commentary saying "We're told that's Rey Mysterio, a Mexican wrestler" and it just didn't look like him at all.

 

[DrM]

Props to Wehrlein for pushing out Guitireziez at his home grand prix.

Complete lack of respect for Mexican driver

 

[Juicy Bob]

Esteban Gutierrez is shite.

 

[Zeknurn]

That is the worst flat spot I've seen on a tyre.

 

[Par Score]

I have never seen a flat spot that bad. Is it even still a flat spot if it's worn all the way through to the canvas?

Holy shit.

 

[DrM]

Nobody wants a supersoft for the first stint

 

[djplaeskool]

Vettel pls

 

[Par Score]

That's got to be a penalty for Vettel.

 

[Line_HTX]

Man, if there was ever a more clear-cut case of being a SHAMEFUL JABRONI than Gutierrez spinning out and impeding Grojean, this is it.

Even the random Lucadors in the stands could make a better Q1 time than that hometown jobber.

What a fucking joke this team is.

 

[Zaru]

Vettel has BECOME the blue flag.

 

[Deadman]

pretty dumb by Vettel

 

[Zeknurn]

I guess Mercedes have decided that Hamilton is supposed to get pole today. #followthemoney

 

[Line_HTX]

Vettel spills his spaghetti like most of this year.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Vettel needs a piss.

 

[Tempy]

Vettel would like a Wii.

I once walked behind two people talking about the Wii (this was near launch date).

Then I discovered they were French.

 

[Deadman]

"Can I go for a wee" 😂

 

[DrM]

Vettel needs a piss.

Probably before he will be called to stewards

 

[Mokubba]

Brundle talking about drivers weeing in the car cracked me up.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

For taking the piss with Hamilton.

 

[spuckthew]

Rosberg has looked positively slow compared to Hamilton in every session so far. Q3 is what counts of course, but he's struggling to make 5th at the moment.

 

[Zeknurn]

I hope Verstappen takes pole and gives no quarter to Hamilton on lap 1.

 

[Hasney]

Yeah, it was Mystico. Apparently a lot of people corrected them on Twitter.

 

[Line_HTX]

Crooked Bernie set up that qualifying pole so that Hamilton will complete the comeback in Yas Marina.

I've spoken to a lot of people. Something needs to be done.

 

[djplaeskool]

Lucha on top.
Seems like a ton of people out here for qualifying.

Oof, savage.

"Can I go for a wee" ��

:lol Vettel

 

[Tempy]

Sainz doing well.

 

[DrM]

Hulk destroying Perez

 

[djplaeskool]

Hulk smash

 

[sems4arsenal]

Dafuq is wrong with Nico? He dominated last year. he's third row at best with that pace.

 

[nature boy]

Is Britney choking

 

[Zaru]

Finishing 2nd tomorrow might actually be very difficult for Rosberg.
I take it he didn't find a decent setup but it's too late to change things now

 

[Zeknurn]

Force India is going to struggle without Hulkenberg next season.

 

[Aiii]

CMLL is running a show in Mexico City over the weekend.

 

[DrM]

Certainly. He is also giving very good feedback with engineers and I think that was also one of the reasons that Renault snatched him - experienced driver with good feedback.

Is a non-optimal setup enough to cancel out the Merc advantage on a track like this?

 

[Gareth Bale]

Rosberg looking well slow

 

[frontieruk]

Is a non-optimal setup enough to cancel out the Merc advantage on a track like this?

Depends if the optimal setup causes the engine to blow up...

 

[sems4arsenal]

Can't remember the last time Nico was so slow in Quali.

 

[spuckthew]

That'd be a nice starting order.

 

[nature boy]

Sky getting a bit excited over Britney underperforming

 

[Zaru]

What else would it be? Rosberg has otherwise been very consistent in qualifyings and owned the track last year.

 

[Par Score]

Sky getting a bit excited over Britney underperforming

Everyone should be.

Ideally he'll get a DNF before the end of the season to keep things interesting, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

EDIT: Fucksake.

 

[Aiii]

I love this starting grid, yay.

 

[Zeknurn]

Fucking A Rosberg. Well done.

 

[Hasney]

Got that second place. Still a helluva gap, but good work Rosberg.

 

[Tempy]

Hulk in front of the Ferraris.

 

[kharma45]

Good lap from ROS to jump the RBRs

 

[f0rk]

Booooo, Rosberg finishing 4th would be the most interesting result for the championship. Hopefully Red Bull put him under pressure on race pace

lol Ferrari

 

[Randdalf]

Hulkenberg faster than the Ferraris

 

[ElTorro]

Ferrari...
