These are the final Q3 numbers, for the top 10 and the ones below that would be Q2. I'm not sure if this is the way it is done, but adding two seconds to the Q2 time of MS equals a 1:18.875 which is at least 7 tenths faster than Kimi.

Which means in the race that michael will be in the lead by the first pit stop if not before. To my mind this makes things slightly less exciting if it were not for what
was at one time a tight race for the lead and now appears that Renault is holding on for dear life, having lost all of it's advantage.

I got awful tired of watching Ferraris go round and round in the lead the past few years. The tire rule is maybe a start at getting parity vs bucks in F1. Adding ten more cars and drivers would also be a start, by adding traffic less experienced drivers, and upping the luck factor by a few points.

Heresy paragraph

Nascar is still a much more exciting series IMHO even though I'll watch F1 before I'll spend more time than what it takes for the last ten laps of a Nascar race.
